Default My motor ISN'T blown. 15-16 PSI! But Turbo is =(

Well, I thought my motor was blown. I checked all my plugs, bone dry. Pulled off the whole turbo and the exhaust ports are all dry.

But noticed a nice little puddle of oil inside on the compressor side

I'll be going "all motor" for a while...till I save up for a Ball bearing t3/t4.

I wonder why my turbo blew. I was only pushing 15-16 PSI on my STOCK motor and the turbo just save up on me, whats up with that...??

you blew the seals out probably due to lack of oiling or oil got backed up in the drain line. or too much oil pressure.

What gas do you use when you boost 15-16psi? What fuel management are you running?
