The feed is a -4an. I ordered an adjustable ball valve that runs inline with the feed so that I can change the amount of oil pressure to the turbo, should arrive tommorrow. As far as the drain, there is a 90 degree adapter right off the turbo, then the actual tube itself is a clean, downward shot to the pan.

change out that 90 degree as well even though it flows downward, when pressure builds it will still burn oil out the exhaust, too much flow for that 90 degree.. trust me!

I really doubt it has anything to do with the feedline or return line. Return line looks fine.

If oil is coming out the downpipe the seals are shot.

It looks like its a used turbo anyway... time to get a rebuild.

When you get that Adjustable Ball valve, could you take a pic of it. I never seen something like that for oil control.

Any how much did it cost ya??

Good luck on the turbo rebuild if that is your route.

I agree. 90 degrees is too much, get a 45 degree bend
and you may want to thing about buying a -3an feed

You should take a look to your oil level too...maybe you got too much oil

Ill try the valve first. (it was 12 bucks for those that asked.)

If it turns out to be the bend off the turbo for the return, I dont know what Im going to do. It goes into the 90 then nearly straight to the pan with only a slight decline. If I had to use a 45 then the pan would have to be tapped further down to provide a slope, but then that would put it lower than the oil level. Any ideas?

if u got the valve coming already try it, but really fix that 90 degree, I think u should be ok to tap it a little lower oil shouldn't sit that high in there. Good Luck!

MooreBoost

Bump for for new pics.

Also, I cannot install the ball valve, it doesnt have room to twist on either way, so I was wondering if I could remove the oil pressure sensor and tee then screw the valve right into the block without a CEL?

wouldnt be restrictive at 90 degrees? i dont see how it would flow more at 90 degrees than at 45......

MooreBoost

It wouldnt.

ATS*Mark

i think its your seals dood

boostedlude3g

I second that.

MooreBoost

Ok, the ball valve is installed and it didnt change anything. So its either the 90 bend or the seals.

svmnredracr

Like ive been saying from the start its the 90 degree, tyr that plus its not gonna cost u anything. If u been reving it like that for a long period of time then think bout your seals, but definitly change that 90 degree out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MooreBoost

Where can I find a 45 degree bend that will work?

MooreBoost

My oil level is pretty high too, its almost to the top hole on the dipstick. Should I try letting alittle out? Will it still have enough if its in the middle of the two dots?

I have been there, trust me.

boostedlude3g

its supposed to be at the top hole in the dip stick, thats also called the full line.

MooreBoost

Ok, the I tried taking out some oil, that didnt help.

So still either the seals or the 90. Im going to replace both and go from there.

MooreBoost

Ok, I bought another 14b and it should be in shortly. Im just waiting on Flamenco-T to get back with me regarding the 45 deg bend. Now my question is, will I have to retap the oil pan? Im pretty sure I will, but Im worried that it will be below the oil level. Look where its tapped now, and tell me if you think I can move it down about an inch.

boostedlude3g

how about you try replacing the turbo first. then if it still smokes (which i doubt it will) retap your oil pan. I am SCREAMING HERE, ITS THE OIL SEALS IN THE RURBO!

LoL

MooreBoost

Well if that 90 deg is backing up the oil flow then wont it blow the seals on the new turbo?
