OK ill get right to it , IM leaking oil I think Its comming from where the compressor housing attaches to the middle section of the turbo just to the right ot where the oil return bolts to the turbo. It looked like that anyways....I have good oil pressure..alittle lower than the t-25 but still there and good.....if i step on it in first it doesnt have that feeling of boost till ike 3700 rpms then its gets going kinda good......but the best boost is like cruising building it slowly then it comes in nice and quick.....ok so theres no smoke that i can see either and i have yet to check for oilin the ic piping anything else i should do/look for/consider ? thansk :dsm:
 
You are probably running way too rich, and have a boost leak, whcih is why you have a late spool.

The oil could be coming from a line, and running down onto the turbo.

I'll have to check it out later, or tomorrow, I have a lot going on today.
