Alright, I'll give you the story from the start.
In the middle of making a pull at WOT, my oil cooler let go on me. I lost all my oil so I shut the car off and coasted. In the process, The turbo became seized and the bolt on the compressor wheel backed off. I got a new turbo and put it on today, but I used the same ported housing I had.
After starting it and running down the road, I noticed my oil pressure is significantly lower than it was before, and it's hardly spooling. I can get like 5 pounds tops if i push first and second gear. And eventually, every now and then the car will begin to sputter severely and won't accelerate worth a rats ass.
I was thinking timing, but I have no idea how that could be any kind of effect from what happened. I've also noticed blue smoke, oil yes I know, from behind the engine. I'm not 100% if it's coming from behind the motor though, because I ran about an 1/8 mile down the road and back with my downpipe unhooked.
Any ideas?
