But any way if you need to borrow a plenum to get you on your feet I have a spare one. Thats if you decide to take off that plastic peice and take a look. Mine had a crap load of oil in it and didnt smoke. You would have a real BIG problem if you were passin that much oil through your intake. Can you say 2 stroke.
Is the TN a water/oil cooled or just oil? When I had a kinked line it pushed oil out the back of the seal into the hot side of the turbo. LOTS of white smoke. I have the true duals so it wass real easy to see what went wrong. One side smoke the other nothing just messed with lines. Ding a lite went on.
Other than this little rambeling not much else I can say to help. Feal your pain man.

I noticed my return line was kinked a little when I pulled my turbo off. I fixed it when I put it back in. I don't know if that was the reason that the turbo blew a seal or not. But its fixed now.

Such a crucially important line made out of HiTemp rubber is stupid

I roasted through my return line within a week of having the kit due to it being routed a little off. We just threw it up on the lift and replaced it with a really nice braided and coated line and all's been well since.
Not really a problem with the line, just one of the common issus with running a turbo kit. Upgrading the small stuff like that is what makes a good setup great.

My return line has been leak free it's entire life. It's not difficult to make sure the line isn't kinked at all.
My suggestion is to always wait to do the return line cutting until the VERY END when all piping is in place, so you can route it properly.

Well said ---fortunetly I keep the Aeroquip Hose on hand with the appropiate hand installed fittings as a rule. I didnt have any last time.
My main reason for mentioning it, was that I swear by the stuff and have seen situations where the hose looks fine, but has swelled internally due to heat and chemical reaction to the oil, causing it to restrict BADLY, much like a brake line will do. Main thing though is as u said, Its just dammed important to chk it periodically.

Yeah, I'll actually agree that the hose that comes with the kit is kinda floppy and weak. I'm glad we ended up going with a stouter braided return line to keep it from ever kinking or burning again.

I've got a good lenght of Aeroquip I could use, but I dread getting the stock line off the outlet of the turbo while it's all in there, haha. That's a project for when the built motor goes in (I'm going stainless braided in that case anyways.

I wish there was still auto shop in schools where classes in some of this stuff were taught.
Most the guys I talk to out of the Tech Schools, Have a little understanding of Diagnostics, but havent a clue as to how an engine works ---Not a clue.
The best wrenchers are those that started as soon as they could hold one. And this Forum helps a lot of guys that werent so lucky.
I show pity on Noobs with their "Squeeky" Brakes and " How should I shift my MT ' questions

Thats funny ---reminded me ---In Daytona when I moved there ------I had a roomate that just graduated from Emory-Riddle ( Top ? Helecopter,airplane Tech Schools ) He asked me to show him how to build the motor in his 750/4 Honda MC---I gave him a task ---Take off the Head, I heard Grunting---He busted off 4 head bolts. Righty titey Dude !!!
But one of the best --when I was 12 also ---I talked my Grandad into letting me rebuilt one of his truck motors---Would have been great if I hadnt left 2 sockets in there.
I guess best yet was at 10 ----Looking for a gas leak in the old Mans Snowmobile with a Bic. Oh well ---Moving right along
