Well as some no i have decided to change my turbo. Had to swap turbo elbows over witch was abig pain but half hour they was swapped over .
Well the weather was awfull yesterday just rain rain rain but it didnt stop me. Just slowed me down . Got the turbo on, exhaust, gasket and manifold so soon as im free again just connect the oil lines, air filter and tmic then hopefully i should have boost over 14psi .

Totally sick mate. Another one like this is mark_airy's one. You can look at his project for inspiration if you want to. Venetian green is the colour I believe.

Well got every thing on today. Got the car started had a look underneath and oil every were. Think she might be going.

pics not good

[mark_airey]

that looks to me like the oil feed line isn't nipped up on the adaptor thing or the adaptor isn't sealed/nipped up into the turbo, thats where I would start looking at that as I have been there and the amount of oil is amazing

[karl1989]

it was running 5 minutes before i noticed it. the oil feed with the 2 allen key bolts would it work if i use gasket sealant mark

That's the return line (the one that goes to the sump yeah?) If so its only low pressure and gasket sealant will do it no problem, just make sure its all nice and clean

cheers mate so just gasket sealant between the oil line and the turbo?

If its the one that's a flat plate with 2 Allen bolts in then yeah you should get away with that just dont go mad with it as remember it will squeeze out into the hose!

[karl1989]

ye ano mate. found a gasket for it but its old. just hope its not the top oil ;line with the 19mll head i think its 19 anyways

[Dan!]

Its 17mm

[karl1989]

been told twice to use a cereal box for a gasket + sealant. shall i seal both sides?

I used the cardboard box from some jam tarts on the turbo I fitted earlier, but yeah that should work well. As Mark says its only the low pressure return line so should be fine.

[karl1989]

ok cheers guys for the replys. just hoping it is the low pressure pipe + gota have more than 14psi now haha. will update tmoz or friday depending on weather.

[mark_airey]

Thin coat on both sides and should work grand mate also it is 17mm as Dan says on the high pressure line if its that it could be the copper washer on the adaptor or the line its self not nipped up/seated right, you can see if the oil is coming out there through the manifold with a torch if you don't have a top mount on

Edit:-
Beaten by Dan, can't type fast enough on phone

[karl1989]

i had to swap th eadapter over mate as the oil line wouldnt sit in it right and i used the washer of my old turbo as this 1 didnt have one in. I have a tmic need fmic

[declantg]

Car is looking nice

Shame about the oil leak though mate, hope its all sorted soon!

[karl1989]

well got some instant clear gasket today. made a gasket from a box and put it together then started her up few seconds fine then oil leak again but only treacling out so must not ov done it properly :x :x . guna take the oil line of again and just used the sealant with no gasket.

[mark_airey]

I would give the gasket an hour or so to set a bit before you start it

[karl1989]

so should i use another cardbourd gasket. i left it about 20 mins. when i noticed oil coming out i turned it off and could hear something like oil squeezing out of the gasket

[karl1989]

still leaking ffs :x

[mark_airey]

still leaking ffs :x

Are you sure its not the inlet line then running down the turbo making it look like its the return?

[karl1989]

adno guna order a gasket of ebay see how that goes if still no joy guna take the manifold off and have a look.

Why not get a 17mm spanner in your hand and nip it up? You can reach from the wing on the passenger side, with your right arm you can reach along the back of the block between the manifolds (just make sure its cold first ) until you find the oil line looping round onto the union on the turbo and make sure its tight
