Okay, this is my delima, my clutch went out 3 months ago, just finished putting everything together, ACT 2600, XACT Flywheel, EVo mani, RNR 3" elim Dump, 3" Catco, N1 Exhaust. I was rollin in a 90 accord DX for the time being. Pimp ride eh? Well, just like an excited little schoool girl losing her virginity, i stuck the keys in and started that sucker. VROom VROOM. Sounds nice, but smoke pouring out the ass. I check everything, pop the hood and guess what i see? Oil in the dump tupe! Any one know as to why this is? or how i can fix? Thanks.
 
well, if you say turbo seals...i was porting the turbo exhaust side while i had it out and some of the metal shavings were probably still in there. i tried vacuuming as best i can to get rid of them...Anthing else?
 
well, you need to pull the turbo off the housing and see if its full of oil, and check to see if there is shaft play. This will tell you if it has a bad seal. I have a 92 6-bolt and i had to change the man. and since i had it off, i figgured that i would check out a spare turbo on it that i had pulled off a blown motor and it ended up having bad seals and smoked like a ganga freak!!!

yea i'm going to be taking it apart again, but before i installed the turbo, there wasnt any shaft play. But maybe it poped on me when i started the car?? If it's the turbo does that mean i have a reason now to get a 50 Trim?:D
