I just got my new turbo in the mail today and i installed it and there is smoke coming out of the water inlet side.. and i was wondering is the normar or is somthing wrong.

No my return line is not kinded
no oil in charging piping ect brand new turbo.. iam only using oil cooled on it .. so should i just plug the water in/out holes or what...

 

i dont know if it should smoke but if you dont use the water cool on the turbo. it will vold your turbo warranty.

 

**** your Right ..

Well i guess ill just play it safe and get fittings so i can water cool... thank bro maybe that will fix the prob after all..

 

I am having the same problem did buying the AN fittings and tubes fix the smoking prob?

 

gotta make sure your inlet is right on top and the outlet is directly on bottom since it uses a gravity drain. if its not the oil presure is pretty high in a honda and the oil will push itseld through the seals

 

and one more thing when you drilled the oil pan did you place the hole high enough? if its too low the oil won't drain fast enough and get backed up and the oil will once again force itself through the seals
