motor was just built and is smoking..we've narrowed it down to the turbo and the feedline and return line MIGHT be swapped on accident. Would that cause the oil to come of the intake side of the turbo and also is there a certain position that the turbo must sit so the oil is exiting the turbo correctly?

 

Your oil return line is probably to low on your oil pan so its not draining, just filling the line up.

Post a pic of your oil return and pan.

 

ill b able to get pics tommorrow..but basically right now the return is sitting on top and going to the oil pan...and the feed is on the bottom...im not sure is it supposed to be the other way around or not? the problem is that its smoking aloooot and oil is leaking out of the the turbo (intake side)

 

Yes, the return line uses gravity, it has to be on the bottom.

 

ok..so like just to make sure, how do i tell which fitting is for which...is there any way i can distinguish that? i dont know which hole is for the feed and which hole is for the return...is one bigger than the other? cause i keep getting the same problem over and over again...***** smoking alot and oil leaking out of the turbo...oil was even coming out of the exhast

 

wow.. i wonder if you killed your seals from running like that. who the hell installed it?

 

well there is oil getting in it and out..but just wanna make sure its the correct way

 

it was never put into full boost or any boost ..and hasnt even been driven yet

 

The feed hole, is typicaly smaller then the return. Also, the return is usualy setup for a flange, or a 1/2 inch or so fitting. What turbo, any pics? Having it upside down if you did, you pressurized the turbo, again what turbo. What size is your feed line, what size is your return line. Too big of a feed line will cause problems too. This i know first hand.
