oil leaking from turbo line/ no boost

[greyspyder117]

I thinks it's pretty clear that my turbo line is leaking right under the exhaust manifold. I put about a qt of oil in the car about every week and a half. My question kinda is crazy and common sense but i would still like a input. My turbo doesn't boost high anymore. I use to hit 18psi and now i can't even get to 13psi. Believe me there is no boost leaks. Now there is a exhaust leak right at the downpipe to turbo. Not too big at all... Around the time i noticed it i broke the harness to the aem tru boost i had and ordered another one and replacled it. But every since then i couldn't hit 18psi. If the AEM tru boost gauge works and doesn't flash that ers on the gauge then means it's working right? I ripped the harness out of the back and want to make sure that i didn't short out the solenoid before i replace this turbo.. The turbo needs to be replaced because shaft play a lil too much for my liking. I now this post is a mess but i have very little time on the pc so please don't yell at me too much for the all over the place messy post

I am not sure about the gauge, but be VERY careful of that oil leak. I would avoid driving it at all costs until that oil leak is fixed. I had a fire as a result of the oil feed line leaking on the manifold. And if the leak is bad enough to prevent enough oil pressure or flow through the turbo, this will also effect the turbos performance.

Is the leak from the feed or return. Stop driving it and fix the leak. Stock lines?

 

[greyspyder117]

yes stock lines and i never thought about a fire until now be thats sounds about right... I guess the car will be down for a week or two while i gather money for all the gaskets and what not. I know i had a little shaft play in it when i first got the car but it has got worst so i will swap the turbo with a spare one that i have and that inculdes all the metal gaskets and exhaust manifold gasket. Should i upgrade lines? Or are the stock ones the best? The car is running a evo 3 16g and will be replaced with a evo 3 16 g .... The leak is from the oil feed

I would fix the leak with a new oil line. The stock ones are fine, for your stock turbo.

Lke said before i have a evo 3 16g still go with the stock lines

Go with ss feed if you can. I wouldn't do ss gaskets unless you get the flanges resurfaced.
