b16 turbo smoking like a ****. HELP!!!!!
Have a b16a with 9.5:1 forged. t3/t4 with FMU and VAFCII. after the car has been running for about 5 minutes after a cold start, it smokes like a ****. Not milky oil so not head gasket. did compression check. these are the numbers : 165, 160, 150, 170. I think the turbo has a blown seal on the exhauswt side. I had it rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago but it was a ebay from the get go. I guess it is time to upgrade to garrett. I think my problem is the oil feed line. I think there is so much pressure it blowing the seals. i have seen the oil PSI gauge read around 70+ before. FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

dude, you gotta run a oil restrictor.... just like all ebay turbos. now that you blew the seals. get the dumb 13 dollar oil restrictor, buy a new turbo and you will be gravy.
