i have a 93 civic si with the d16z6 and it has a dsm turbo and tuned with hondata. when i get on the gas a bit and then slow back down it smoke pretty bad. is it the turbo seals? and should i just buy a new turbo or replace the seals. also if i were to buy the exact same turbo, is it just bolt on in go or do i have to do other steps?

does it smoke real bad when u first start it in the morning? probely the seal on the turbo take off the down pipe and see if it all oil

i think if you smoke on deceleration that means its the valve seals. i could be mistaken though

it doesnt smoke real bad in the morning. only when i really get on it like 6k rpm, then when i come to a stop i see a cloud of smoke surronding my car, this sucks, also i took off my filter from my turbo and noticed a couple drops of oil.

if its a dsm turbo i assume its used. so its a good chance its the turbo. but i cant really say from experience. any other weird symptom?

yes it is a dsm turbo lol. not really any other symptoms, just when the car is raced of taken to higher rpms it smokes like a bitch when i come to a stop. what do i do rebuild the turbo or buy a new one? if i do is it just bolt the new turbo on and go? or?

the tru test 2 see if it the turbo is blown take off the down pipe if the down pipe is caked with oil ur turbo blown had the same problem

thanks. if it is the turbo, when im installing it can i just bolt it up and go? or do you somehow tune the turbo?
