Bullseye

[mattspyder]

I got a T04b vtrim turbo from bullseye awhile back. My car is smoking at idle and while I drive. I read on here that it could be due to to much pressure from the oil filter housing. Is this true? I do have a oil feed line connected to the filter housing and I did take apart the turbo awhile back and it did have ALOT of oil in it. What should I do?

I run a straight feed line from the housing on a 50 trim and don't have any of the problems you're describing. Pull the intake and check for shaft play (in and out and side to side) before suspecting an oil pressure issue. The V-trim is surge prone and repeated surge can create shaft play which will in turn make it smoke.

Let us know what you find,

Andy

i checked awhile back and i could move it around alittle bit, its not supposed to move at all is it? It wiggles around in there.

Does it move in and out or side to side? A little bit of side to side is acceptable, but in and out is a problem. If you bought the warranty and it's still covered, you could always send it back and have it repaired.
