when i finally pulled out my old plugs today there was a good amount of oil at the end of them only 2 of the 4 tho 2 of them where just dry the other 2 had oil all over the bottem of them and the NO4 plug had oil on it two that one was the worst it had oil on the plug and on the wire or the part that snaps on to the plug and someone on here cant remember who told me to buy NGK BPR6ES and the socket for them wont even fit down on the spark plug tube, but anyway whats the oil all about

well if you turbo is liquid cooled also try hooking that up to cool the turbo down, also since your feeding the turbo oil, oil will be hot. Your not giving like a specific temperature but yes the turbo will be hot. if you plugs are flooding with oil that means your rings are shot, they will go very easy on a stock 420a engine so make sure you were only boosting like max 8psi, im boosting 6psi for now until my internals are going to be done, if your spark plugs are flooding.... your pistons are gonna go kaboom and if thats your normal day car turn that boost down to like 4psi, you still risk of blowing the engine.

Note: Stock fuel pump will not supply enough gas for you to boost high, im not sure of the specific psi, also you need a FMU to manage the amount of fuel going in when you boost under the pressure.

well i am not sure if the turbo has a way to cool it but the oil is wierd like some times it is there and some times when i pull the plugs out it isnt but yeah what happened was that i changed my plugs NO1 plug was fine no oil on plug or the plug wire NO2 no oil on plug wire but a little oil on bottom on spark plug where the spark is made that was in oil NO3 was fine no oil on plug or wire NO4 a good amount of oil on plug wire mostly towards the bottom and the plug its self was soaked in oil where the spark is made but NO4 was also real tight the plug was real tight now as for turbo temp the turbo was so hot after 30 seconds you couldnt even keep hand on it for half a second but maybe its normal so whats up with the oil what does that mean i change my oil every 2,800 miles to be safe and i always use synthetic like the book says i baby it so whats up with the oil is she gonna blow or is it just maybe a bad seal or something what do you think please help now i am pi$$ed i judt turboed the car i havnt even driven 3 miles in it yet with the turbo

and also like i said up there i drove it today for like 2 miles and on the way back i hit it and i wasent impressed at all it was just abarely quicker than stock i still dont have the new fuel system hooked up yet is that what makes it still slow does the fuel system make that much of a diffrence will my car be faster when i hook it up

do you have a boost gauge?? what are you running? is your car creeping?

its normal for a turbocharge/exhaust manifold to be too hot to touch.

don't boost without ur fuel setup pieriod!!not to be mean dude but u prob blew something aready(any smoke out the exhuast??)..i don't really know why u installed the kit without ur fuel pump and regulator(there is a reason why it comes with the kit)..thats just asking for a rebuild..ur not gonna feel anything really if ur just forcing air in without the correct amount of fuel...fuel does make alot of diffrence(more air&fuel=morepower).hopefully ur motor is okay...replace the spark plug tube seal(they useually come with the valvecover gasket kit)and that might solve ur oil/sparkplug prob.

Please use paragraphs and punctuation.. I had to read your post like 4 times before I got the jist of it

Umm ya, in order for your turbo to work correctly, you need fuel!

More fuel + more air = Boost
