I've got a large amount of oil leaking from my turbo into my intercooler

I've torn it apart and look at all the seals, and they are in perfect condition

Anyone know what could be happening, could the turbo be bad?


And when i say large amount of oil, the turbo almost drained my motor.

 

u must have a bad seal some where that u aint seeing.where at on the turbo is it leaking?

 

i've checked, took the whole turbo apart and checked, there's only one seal.

that i can see. and its fine. and im not sure where the leak is.

all i know is all the oil went from the turbo to my intercooler, and the turbo was working fine on my other motor.

was once one a b-16 now on a b-20

 

did u rebuild to turbo before u used it?

 

the turbo is almost brand new, and just took if off the b-16 cuz i wanted a bigger motor, 2.0

 

i had the same thing too. brand new turbo and everything. It is the oil feedline. it is feeding to much oil. need a oil restrictor.

its a garret turbo

 

but it didnt do this on the B-16.

Does the B20 have a high oil pressure?
