So here's the story. I have a 2000 Si with a T3 turbo controlled by an Apexi VAFC. I had the turbo installed without injectors and AFC at first because I couldnt afford it. I babied the throttle until I got the larger injectors and VAFC. I drove the car probably about a 1000 miles with the injectors and VAFC without being actually tuned. Finally, I got the car tuned and pulled 210 hp at the wheels. Soon after clutch went. Ok, fixed that. FINALLY, got the opportunity to see what the car could do. I drove out to the middle of nowhere to take it for a spin. I launched and the car pulled like hell and in 5th gear towards the very end of the 1/4 I lost alot of power so I took it out of gear and coasted for awhile and then dropped it back into 4th. When I did that the car pretty much died. I pulled over and popped the hood and there was a little bit of oil leaking from the turbo where the exhaust side connects to the rest of the turbo. I tried to start it up and it would start and a little smoke came out of the crankcase vent. I let it cool down and tried to start it again. This time it ran shitty for about 2 seconds and then died and then alot of smoke poured out of the crankcase vent. When I took the intake pipe off I could freely spin the wheel in the turbo so I dont think the turbo is seized. Im not gonna lie Im no genious when it comes to motors I pretty much just spend the money to make it go faster. Im just trying to get an idea of what might be wrong so I can start formulating a plan of how Im gonna fix it. Any feedback would be great. Thanks
