Okay i am going to send my t-25 of to Fp to get the big Fp 28. I think i have a blown seal these are the syptoms.

  1. Running threw 1 to 2 quarts of oil a week
  2. Repalced PCV no change
  3. Bought a pretty Greddy oil catch can no change
  4. Oil in my turbo inlet
  5. Blowing white smoke anytime i build enough boost to hear my bov and sometimes at idle
  6. A every small amount of in and out shaft play

So what do you guys think should i continue with the upgrade ? Also can anyone direct me to a site where i can locate replacement gaskets and bolts required for the install having hardtime finding the oil return line to turbo gasket dealer not in stock.
 
white smoke usually indicates coolant burning. check your overflow tank and see if there is oil in it. if so then id call for a head gasket. also do a compression and cylinder leakdown test to verify.
 
I haven't quite heard of coolant getting through the turbo into the exhaust, but i'm sure it could happen.

provided the 14b is coolant cooled, i'm not sure if it is yet (i'm a 3000gt guy)
 
Coolant will leave sweeter smell. Are you burning oil or leaking oil or both? I know of two leaks that i have now that cause me to go through a quart a week or something like that. One is on my oil cooler lines and another appears to be on the oil pan. MY old 14b had no shaft play, but the exhaust side had some cracks on it and it smoked when i would get on it. Real bad in first. Could be turbo. Also note that he doesn't have a 14b he has a t-25.
 
is it hard to change a head gasket in a 2g? i think mine needs to be changed becaue sometimes when i down shift i get some smoke. . .but not a lot. . .???i check the turbo about a year ago and. . .it looked fine to me. . .
 
have you checked your spark plugs?

you may have a blown HG.

if your plugs are white.. you may have a blown HG.. do you feel any performance loss?
have you down a pressure test on your coolent system? make sure your not leakin from anywhere. find out where you leaking oil from.. if you cant find it.. that means your burning it up. which isnt good. 1-2 qt's a week.. wow.. ya.. thats something you wanna find out asap.

****Update***

Thanks guys for the suggestions but my problem was my turbo seals, I had oil in the exhaust side of the turbo burning in the exhaust causing the smoke. So i purchased Big28 from FP :rocks: :dsm:
