Default turbo is leaking oil

so now it seems that the turbo is leaking oil on the exhaust side were it rotates to fit properly....i checked the bolts and one needed half a turn if that if it continues to leak does that mean the turbo is messed up?

your seals are gone. the bolts dont really tighten anything that has to do with your oil seals except making sure your turbine housing is on correctly and centered

ahh, well thats a bonus of dealing with a good company. It sucks to have to do the work and wait, but at least it will probably turn out allright.

they fixed the journal bearing for b/b shaft turbine end and then gapless trubine end piston....why would those things go bad? oil not draining? too much oil feeding the turbo?
