:dsm:97 GST with 16g. Just rebuilt a junk turbo because it had came in contact with the compressor housing at some point and was burning oil. Might've been the autozone pcv that was junk because it smelled of burnt oil but I cleaned it out to where it'll work till I get another one because the car just sits. Anyways there is a small amount of burning coolant or steam coming out of the exhaust then after it warms up there is straight up water coming out. Took it down the road and when I hit boost there seems to be a lot of burnt coolant or fuel coming out I'm thinking. Then the turbo will be steaming afterwards but not a lot. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED NEED THIS THING RUNNING RIGHT:dsm:
 
Looks like "negative" psig, my digital does that too. Closer to ~16 in/hg, still on the low side for stock cams, but not terrible... Back on topic, I agree, there's a good chance the chra it's self is damaged. Slap-parts-together-and-pray rebuilds don't always work out well (though you can get lucky)... Especially on something with such tight tolerances as a turbo.
