smoke from turbo? HELP
hey guys, i have a garret t28 on my b18c1 and i havent been boosted long. i run 5psi but i noticed that when i make a few hard runs, when i pop the hood there is smoke coming from the turbo. it looks like its coming from the underside where the intake/compressor side bolts onto the exhaust/turbine side. There is also a little bit of oil in the compressor inlet, but theres no oil in the BOV or anything, so i dont know whats wrong, anyone got any ideas?

any number of possibilities actually...it may not be the turbo at all....could be serious blowby and oil getting into the compressor...or a blown HG and oil getting into the exhaust...leaky tubo seals....do a check on the engine first...make sure that its healthy..

o yea i do have a leak on my oil return line. but its at the oil pan where the flange was welded into it. i didn';t think that would have an effect. the smoke isn;t bad at all and doesn;t last long
