I was sent a replacment turbo by Reggie @ Turbonetics and had it swapped out yesterday. The exhaust smoke stopped. Soooo it did turn out to be the oil seal on the turbo failing by an improperly mounted oil return line from my turbocharger.

Thanks Reggie & Turbonetics.

Respect

Good deal. Good thing this wasn't an APS kit, you would have been screwed...



1G'- You have failed in your attempt to not look retarded.

What do you mean? Yours took a crap that filled your exhaust resonator.

That would be the seal in the intercooler, right?

We should stop this now before it gets out of hand but I will say I'd rather have my turbine seal fail and smoke up my exhaust then have my compressor seal fail and pump oil into my intake tract...

haha, youz guyz,

no, the exhaust resonator did have oil in it, the exhaust resonator issue was that it was suber uber small and restrictive. my sump pump was messing up causing my oil to back up into the intercooler/piping.
