turbo question

[microgalant]

I have a gt35 turbo on my 4g64 2.4l with 4g63 head.
I see oil in the turbo inlet,and one thing i see now, that the turbo doesn't run when the engine idle.
Is that a problem with the turbo or, the oil return line is small? (using -8 return)

DOesn't sound like it's getting enough lubrication. The turbo should spin at idle, givin everything is hooked up properly. DO you have any of your crank vent running to the turbo inlet pipe? That could cause the oil, or worse, blown seals in the turbo. Do some more checking into it and let us know more about the setup.

i would say if you see oil in the inlet of the turbo. it could be a cracked housing. or a bad oil seal inside of the turbo. just my .02 since

Start with the basics first, do you have the crack case vent on the intake. Check your feel line, then worry about blown seals.

The turbo on my other car had that problem... Check the seals

I dyno it two weeks ago,got 348whp and 408 of torque on 17 psi.
Could get more hp but the injectors were small, so next year i will changed them to 850cc or 1000cc.
But i'm afraid that the stock gearbox won't hold too much hp.

Ok i'll check for the turbo seal
