Olathe,
Kansas
My car had bad boost creep, so i ordered an o2 dump. So i take off the manifold, unbolt my downpipe take off the o2, put the o2 on, put the manifold and downpipe back on, easy enough done deal. Ok heres where shit hits the fan:
Keep in my mind my car worked perfectly before i replaced the o2, it has a fresh 14b turbo, the motor is in good shape (150 comp across).
i did nothing except replace the ####ing o2 housing with that new 02, start the car, drive for like 10 seconds, WHITE SMOKE EVERYWHERE, were talking billowing clouds, well i try and boost into it and the turbo spools fine a solid 16psi, come back to my house pop the hood, oil everywhere all over the front of the engine, turbo, o2 housing and downpipe, AND theres also oil pouring out the exhuast as in the back of the freakin car out the muffler.
I examine shit to see if i can find out what the hell happened, clean the oil off and look for leaks somewhere. I start the car and examine things to see if i can then fine out where its leaking. Again its leaking all over the place, from the turbo compressor housing, from the o2 housing, all over the place
I check the oil feed and return line and ironically enough theres no leaks with either, So im just like WTF???? Good motor, fresh turbo, where the hell is this oil coming from, and out the exhuast?? AAAAGGGHHHHHH
