haha yeah that was on stock twin turbos with bad oil seals
this turbo smokescreens worse than that, just idling.
So Ive got the inspection sheet from Alltech... bear in mind this turbo has been idled in the driveway for 30 mins, and driven about 5km.
Seems to be a conflict in here, that the seals are leaking due to too much oil, but the bearings are scoured from not enough oil?

* Turbine shaft and turbine end bearings have heat discolouration.
Conclusion:
This evidence shows that the cause of the oil leak has not been caused by a failure within the turbocharger. |
