ok i have a 95 eclipse gst i recently had to do a motor swap thanx japan direct its a 7bolt,as well after i did the swap i realized that my turbo was bad so i upgraded to the evo 3 16g.well when the old turbo went bad it mixed oil in with the antifreeze completely putting oil in my radiator......so i flushed the radiator and im still having the same problem i realized that its still in the block but as well as that problem im having trouble with the turbo its making a winding sound instead of creating boost?i've rechecked and rechecked everything the only thing i can figure is its still the oil and antifreeze problem.does anyone have any fixes to this problem or know what i need to do im currently draining the block and possibly replacing the radiator.............any help would be great thanx.
 
First thing man, whenever you get oil and antifreeze mixed together make sure you flush the HOLE cooling system. And most important change the oil. Antifreeze loves to eat away at bearings. As for your turbo problem, have you checked the turbo? check ALL of your intercooler pipes and couplers? If you arent getting boost the first thing to do is do a boost leak test.
