ive had a TO4E on my oo Si for about 6XXX and there is oil in the charge pipes? any reason why? it still spools and boost great.

 

seals on the compressor side are going... its probably just age, what size feed and return are you running? is the oil return above the oil level in the pan? any kinks in the return?

sounds like its time for a rebuild

 

*** cuz it really is almost new? it must be the seals though cuz i took the turbo all apart and the only think i can see is the oil coming through on the compressor side. no kinks and the oil return is above oil level. where can i get one? any idea?

 

6000 miles is not new

 

well i mean its only been like 4 months amost? but where can i get a rebuild kit?

 

i wouldnt recommend rebuilding it yourself.... the turbo has to be rebalanced when you pull the compressor wheel off... phoenix turbo charges 250 for a basic rebuild

 

how much oil?

 

umm i couldnt tell u? but when i cleaned out the pipes quite a bite was in them, enought to gop out and in some spots pour out? not good.
