I just recently put my 14b on my 2nd gen, Maybe like 3000 mile ago and now i am having problems. 1. I am leaking alot of oil. I'm guessing just at wot throttle because i was out free reving it and couldnt see any oil leaking. I thought maybe my stainless steel oil feed craped itself but nothing is coming out of it. Its not coming from oil return either. I think the seals are gone and the turbo is done. I checked for shaft play and its pretty minimal but it does have some in and out. While driving around normally when it goes to start spooling it just falls on its face. Checked compression and 152 across the board. No coolant in oil. I have a lot of either oil or unburnt fuel coming out of my exhaust. It leaves a nice black spatter when i rev it just sitting. Is my turbo done or do i have some other serious problem? I ordered a b16g because i thought it was my turbo going out so that will be changed this weekend. Thanks in advance.
 
I disconnected my lower intercooler piping today and behold no oil. So i turned it on today and reved it up a little and what do you know there was some white smoke so first thought coolant. I am letting the car warm up right now so i can do another compression test to see if i have a blown headgasket. If my headgasket is fine what else could it be?
 
Well did another compression check and 150 across the board. Im getting spark and fuel all across all cylinders.The only time it smokes is when i rev it a little so im thinking maybe the turbine side seals have gone on the turbo and its letting stuff get out there. Do you think maybe it could be bad rings? I am kinda at a loo right now. Any help would be appreciated.
 
well i got the turbo off today and there was some condensation on the o2 housing. Dont know if it was just condensation because i started it up not to much earlier. The only thing i noticed about the turbo first off was the crack by the wastegate had gotten alot worse. The turbo spins free and doesnt have too much shaft play. Does anyone think it could be something else? The new big 16g will be here on tueday hopefully and i will trough it on. Maybe that will have been my problem. If anyone else has any other suggestions please post them up.
