cabrioman 6 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 How much work did your turbo need? its gone for a full rebuild, the guy thinks it was a oil feed problem, thinks it may have had to much pressure so he`s going to check it out and supply me with a new oil feed line with a restrictor in it Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 wernt your return in the same place as mine.. or was it at the fornt of the sump..as for the turbo feed .. id alwys use a restrictor, the quickest way to kill a turbo especialy a ebay one is to give it to much oil .. glad you have got it sorted though Link to post Share on other sites
