if you don't use any oil restrictor in your feed line, you are in trouble. you are getting too much pressure from the stock sender location on the block.
you will need to replace the seal in your turbo too.

 

nah, the seal in the turbo should be fine since he has just let it idle a few times with the high pressure. your just going to want to change that RIGHT away.. like seriously, right now..

 

socks, it doesnt really smell like anything i can define. i guess it kinda smells more like oil than antifreeze, but it deffintaly builds up a film in my downpipe. the color is kind of a yellow brown, so thats why im kinda leaning toward oil now... the turbo is just oil cooled. it just kinda drips out as the exhaust comes out and theres a moderate amount of white smoke. The FPR thing is deffinatly a problem, but i can take out the fpr and keep it at about 40psi by kinking the line so, i dont think thats it...

 

i can't believe i even asked about the turbo. i forgot i had it here just two weeks ago lol.. owned.gif

anyway, are you SURE its white smoke, or is it light blue?

do me a favor, stick your finger where you put oil in your car... smell it.. then wipe your finger on the inside of the DP.. smell it.. does it smell similar.. lol

 

lol i did a smell check just like that. maybe my nose just isnt that good, but yeah im pretty sure they smell similar. its gotta be oil... so you think i need a new seal in my turbo? should i move my feed line? what kind of restrictor?

 

move the feed line to the drivers side of the head.. theres a little allen bolt in there.. that way you wont need a restrictor..

you should NOT need a new seal in your turbo for just idling it at the blocks oil pressure.. as long as you switch it NOW, and DO NOT drive it like that..

look close.. my oil feed line on right side of head.. that brass fitting.

 

Okay i will do that. Btw did anyone else have a freakin impossible time trying to track down a metric nipple to tap the oil? i know i sure did. went to like 5 places that specialize in fittings and nothing!

 

metric nipple to tap the oil.....? im confused.. lol

 

you know like a fitting to screw into the block? well, maybe its just because of where i tried to tap it =P

 

now why did you try to tap into the block.. and the fitting for the oil pressure sender is a 1/8 npt fitting, found almost anywhere lol.
