ok this a realy wierd thing maby i did something wrong. i don't know neway my problem...oil is leaking out of the compressor side of my turbo(my intake side) leaking and running down into my intake filter this may be normal but dosen't seem like it..any ideas?
it's not alot of oil but enough to worry about!oh i have a star ki stage 1 t3/t4

Is this a duplicate post.....i thought this got discussed already...

Your turbo has a blown seal on the compressor side. If i recall you have a star turbo kit and the t3/t4 will need a 360 degree thrust bearing rebuild kit.

Usually when you get oil in your compressor side its because of the compressor turbo shaft seal going bad... time for a rebuild. Whats the shaft play on the turbo like? Any comp wheel damage?

the turbo doesn't even have 300 miles on it and it's bad!!! holy crap

First thing... what turbo is it?

Second thing, where is your oil feed coming from for the turbo, and how big is it?

Third thing, how big is you oil drain line from the turbo?

1. it's star/ turbonethics t3/t4
2. from the oil pressur sensor...it's the line that came with the kit 1/4" maby? stanless line
3. it's 5/8 return with plenty of room to flow the hoe for the return is as close to the top of the pan as i could get it as well..

why!?

Just checking to make sure yo have a good oil setup, and a good turbo...

Does the turbo have much shaft play?

hehe that was me Star...I had a similiar problem too and the turbo doesnt even have one mile on it...bad turbo so I returned it to turbonetics under warranty.

oh ok i knew it was recent. good you got an exchange.....mint should do the same.
