b16 turbo smoking like a ****. HELP!!!!!
Have a b16a with 9.5:1 forged. t3/t4 with FMU and VAFCII. after the car has been running for about 5 minutes after a cold start, it smokes like a ****. Not milky oil so not head gasket. did compression check. these are the numbers : 165, 160, 150, 170. I think the turbo has a blown seal on the exhauswt side. I had it rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago but it was a ebay from the get go. I guess it is time to upgrade to garrett. I think my problem is the oil feed line. I think there is so much pressure it blowing the seals. i have seen the oil PSI gauge read around 70+ before. FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most likely the turbo, Although I have seen "E-bay" turbos survive quite a long time if you run a oil restrictor. They dont handle full on oil pressure well

Yeah sell that stuff and get a REAL tune man - you will see a night and day difference
- As for the smoking, it could be your oil seals inside the turbo gone bad which means the turbo will need to be rebuilt or reconditioned. Some repair places charge quite a bit to replace the seals - you just might come out cheaper looking for a good used Garret or any reputable brand on Ebay or H-T, etc... good luck man!
