i have a 91 tsi, my turbo spools at around 4,000-4,200....the return lines is leaking and there is alot of blue smoke"burning oil" coming out the exhaust.....now is it the return or feed line or is it the bearing seals? and this guy told me that somehow if my turbo locks up that it will all of a sudden run 50psi and blow my motor?....i wondered if that was true...i go through about a quart every 2 weeks.....whats could be the problems?
 
anyone know anything, im in a bust.......need to start saving money to buy,..... :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

That doesn't make sense to me at all. If the turbo locks up (isn't moving), how are you going to run more boost??? :confused: The turbo needs rebuilt. If you are going through oil that fast, check it everyday to make sure it doesn't get worse or don't drive your car until you get it fixed. engines like oil. keep us posted as to what the problem was... :dsm:
 
i will keep everyone updated, anyone know where i can get a stock new one to buy rom ?
