Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ive got some in mine, but i know my turbo seals are going If the block is fine it will most likely be your turbo seals. Mine have been like it for close to 2yrs now and still going strong *touch wood* However i have bought some spare 2nd hand turbo's ready just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest argy911 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think you should start planning a single ,sure its not the head gasket maybe you over filled the water and blew a gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FKADizzmystar Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 just had the head redone aswell with all new gaskets, they are looking at the breathers at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FKADizzmystar Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 the mechanic took the exhaust off and had a look at the 2nd cat and it was all melted into a ball that has clogged the cat up so 3inch is going on next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i was right then;) . The bad news is as you have been driving it like this and trying to boost it .You have put a huge amount of strain on the turbos with back pressure which will in turn blow the oil seals out . And there has been new hybrids on her that have only done 2000 miles and failed big time ! Don'T forget there not stock any more and are only as good as the parts and the guy who rebuilt them! As for oil out the exhaust not really as it's the front oil seal that has gone so it gets pushed though the inter-cooler and pipe work . And as oil is heavy it will just site in the bottom pipe and not really make it into the engine in large amounts .

Guest FKADizzmystar Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I haven't being trying to boost it, haven't driven it over 4000rmps. the guy had a look at the breathers and other things around the turbos and said everything looks fine. next week he will put the new exhaust on and dyno it and see if everything is good after that. if it is an oil seal are they hard to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 LOL no mate they are the wons i got to change mine but never did as something better come along So when you going white then?
