I finally got everything in and set up and I let my car turn but not start so that the oil would pump through and such. Everything was fine until I put my spark plugs back in and started it up. The oil line hooking up the the turbo, the outlet, shot off and oil went everywhere. What the **** happened? Did something go wrong or was the hose just not on tight enough?

 

Misread, you have rubber hose huh? clamp it and then heat wrap it from melting touching the downpipe.

Did you have a clamp on it? Or is it braided hose? This was the hose from the turbo to the oil pan?! Where's the pan tapped?

 

It was the hose from the turbo to the oil pan. I had no clamp on it, tried to lock-tie it on , I had no ******* idea the drainage was that pressurized. The hose is attached at the top of the oil pan facing the front bumper. I will go get the clamps tomorrow. I need a ****** downpipe too...this car smells like *** dumping it like it is.

What size oil line are you using? The oil line from the turbo to the oil pan in no way should be pressurized, it is simply drained by gravity, hence why you are supposed to use a -10 AN line. take your line off and check to make sure it is not clogged, thats the only thing I can think of.

 

be careful with the language.. just letting you know. i said ****.. or was it a$$.. anyway i got warned by a moderator... just so you know, all of your fuel and oil lines should have those clamps that require flathead screwdrivers to tighten. before you start the car again, double check everything... and triple check... this is the most importat time right now. let the car idle a few minutes and check for leaks. also, when you take it out... drive soft.. dont hit boost right away... drive around for a few minutes then increase pedal pressure and if you here anything wrong let off the gas immediately. fyi, detonation sounds like marbles rolling around in a coffee can.

 

I may have hooked up the lines wrong, because if just gravity is supposed to push it out, then I guess it came unhooked right when I started my car, and before I rev'd it, because like a quart of oil shot out in like 10 secs.

 

the only thing that drain the oil to the oil pan is gravity, so make sure you have a STRAIGHT down path as possible...and no kinks...

try to use a stainless lines, even without an earl's fitting, at least use a stainless lines and clamp it down tight, use a flat scredriver and use a ratchet to tighten up even more...
The Oil return will be more likely in the path of dumptube from the WG or at least touching a DP, so be sure you're not using a rubber line that can melt or caught with something on the road and rip it...
