I think it's my turbo. It's a bullseye HX-35 at 26 psi with an FP inline filter with a .100" orifice restrictor. I think that the restrictor might not be small enough when the line is coming off the filter housing, but it's gotta be in the right ballpark. Anywho, my car eats oil at full throttle and this was confirmed by my friend driving behind me and telling me that every time I punch it I get a haze of blue smoke. There is also oil in the intake tube (and I'm sure it is all over my intercooler too).
My question is, will rebuilding the turbo with new bearings/bushings/snaprings that come in a standard rebuild kit fix it?
Is there anything else I can do to extend the life of the turbo after it's rebuilt?
