Default Question : Is it supposed to be hard to blow ...

[...] through the oil passage on the center section of a T3?

I recently took the turbo off the car and my return line looked clean as a whistle, and I was wondering if oil was making it through, so I blew through the oil hole with my mouth sealed around the hole and it's really hard to push air through it, like I have to force really hard and I can hear just a bit of sputtering air making it through. I'm wondering if this is right

The turbo is brand new from Turbonetics, has like 50 km/s on it, and it still has never been into boost.

Thanks!

Yes, it should be difficult, maybe impossible? The oil has to be FORCED around the shaft and floating bearing in there, so it should be like blowing through a crack in the wall

EXCELLENT!!! THANK YOU!

I'm so happy. I thought it was going to be another problem I had to deal with, and I'm so tired of problems.

Thanks man!
