turbo's shot?
Took it in thinking i had an oil line leak, but seems to be comming from
inbetween the chra and the turbo housing. Should i replace the seal, get new turbo's, or is there another fix like thicker oil or tightening the clamp? Tech says it's do to ccv and high boost and wil remain a problem, but i'm no expert.. Car is 2007 FBO+ 135k km, stock turbo's tuned since 5k km. Other then the leak they seem oke, no shaft play, no smoke. Also have the rb pcv and bms occ, and new valve cover and flapper valve. I'm using 5w30 oil, no oil in coolant. Any sugestions welcome, thanks in advance! |

My suggestion is to remove the vband clamp, remove the wastegate fitting clip, and inspect the CHRA turbine side including best you can under the heat shield on the turbine side of CHRA and post pics and I can advise if it's leaking through the turbine seal or not

Can you pry up the heat shield a little bit and take a peak underneath? If carbon build up underneath then it's definitely the turbine seal. |

Thanks, that's what I was affraid for..
Good time to go shopping for hybride's but my tech thinks this is because of downpipes and poor ccv, and wil be the same with hybride's, don't want to invest in a temporary solution. |
