The compressor wheel itself isnt lubricated. What is oiled is the bearing(s) that the shaft rides in/on. In all actuality, dirt is the number 1 killer of engines. From poor cleaning during assembly and from infrequent oil changes.
you know what i meant by the lubrication stuff though.... if he was asking for the "technical" answer, i probly wouldnt have said anything because i still consider myself ultra turbo n00b.
after you have unclogged that oil line, is it still making the noise. i was under the impression that it had gone away. i dont think having the timing belt too tight would make a squeak, i thought only loose belts squeak. i dont believe the timing belt can even squeak because it has teeth. i dont think belts with teeth can squeak...
