hey guys,

well my turbo hasn't worked for a while now so i took it to mit. dealer to get a couple of recalls done and ask them to check out my turbo problems. Well they told me my turbo assembly is shot ( if someone could tell me what that means in english...) and they said my turbo gaskets were gona and that my oil return tube is gone to.
I was goin to upgrade the turbo n e way so just wanna know what upgrading does for me and pretty much everything about the return tube cause i know nothing about it...Please help guys. thanks alot guys.

By saying your turbo is shot they could mean a couple of things. Seized, lots of shaft play, fragmented blades or bad seals. You always want to replace your gaskets when you do a turbo swap. I’m not sure how you would destroy your oil return line without causing damage to your oil pan. Just look under your car you will see a line running from the bottom of the turbo to the oil pan. That’s your oil return line.

well my car is leakin oil to if that has anything to do with it but i know the turbo is all messed up cause i pulled the intake pipe and tried to spin the turbo blades but it was like trying to spin a rusty screw. so i'm just goin to upgrade the turbo. How much do you want for the return line? I also want to another question about the upgrade i was on turbochargers.com and they have a t3 for 450.00 and it says for 300 hp, but on the other hand they have a 16g for 600.00 i was sure the 16g is a smaller turbo than the t3 can you tell me if i'm correct or not which turbo is stronger cause i want a bigger turbo but don't wanna blow my motor.

thanks,
John
