turbo ef smoking a bit
to start this off i have searched..
i have a boosted ef with a sheepey forward facing kit garrett jb t04e
fresh motor rebuild has around 400 miles turbo has around 1500-2000 miles. running a -4 feed and -10 return. since my turbo sits so low and i have a full race traction bar the oil feed has to go under it then has a slight elevation to the oil pan tap. that being said the turbo does sit above the pan tap, i know that doesnt matter a whole lot but wana include all information i can
car runs great has good compression and perfect leakdown tests on all cylinders boosting at 15psi
smoke is coming out of the exhaust up pipe
like i said runs great, under boost it doesnt smoke and it doesnt smoke at idle. the only times it does are after a pull/in between shifts or when im cruising no boost and i let off the throttle it will smoke for a little bit then quit (5-10 sec). my thoughts are that under boost when the motor is running around 80psi it is pulling enough oil for the turbo to get adequate drainage. when im curising i think when i let off oil pools in the line causing smoke. and in between shifts it maybe pooling and causing smoke. im also seeing a little oil in the compressor inlet so maybe its turbo seals? please help!
iv considered a scavenge pump but i wana see what HTs thoughts are before i buy a turbowerx exa pump.
