i know the smoke has something to do with the return line because thats the only thing i changed recently because i had really bad line before. the problem is that everytime i start up oil is burning from the turbo and out the exhaust. it smokes about 10 minutes after each start up.

so b4 i started it up today, i jacked it up and there was oil on the midsection of the turbo, so im guessing it smokes until this oil steams up. but why would oil back up after you turn the engine off to cause it to come out of the turbo? after this oil seems to burn up everything is fine no matter how long you drive it. only happens after every startup. thanks ahead.

 

Your seals are shot. I just had this same problem

 

wouldnt it smoke all the time if seals are shot? thanks for the response.

i changed the old return line out to and put a new one in to get a much better angle with different fittings. the only thing i can think of rite now is the rubber line inside the steel braids twisting without me knowing it. i had to do alot of twisting/forcing of the line when i was installing it. is this possible?

no one knows?

 

It wouldn't nescessarily smoke all the time. Here is what mine did:
- If you boosted it hard then it would smoke hardcore.
- It would smoke on start up if it sat for awhile.


I doubt the rubber inside the line is twisted. Why did you have to force it when putting it on?
