Not sludgy at all motor is fine the turbo line is blocked

so you're saying it is blocked? seen a few cars with turbo oil starvation problems, usually blocked lines/filters if it has them, it's getting oil in the exhaust after it seizes you mean?

Yeah I mean was running fine then the rear turbos exhaust wheel blew cos of shaft play it was hitting the inside of the turbo housing so I changed the turbo now it's make only 7 psi instea of 14 when I start it up only the front turbo spins freely at idle the rear one is hard to turn

the oil starvation will flog the turbo so the wheel will come into contact with the housing, if you disconnect the oil feed off the rear turbo and start it up you'll prob see no oil come out or the odd drop, you'll have to pull it apart and check and clean everything

If oil feedline blocks then it will seize while drain blocks will cause turbo to leak oil from all seals. It looks like the feed is blocked. Check the line and drill out the oil restrictor in its fittings.

wont be oil drain, its 4x the size of the feed.

feed will be blocked, meaning there is gunk elsewhere in the system most of the time... cause if there wasn't - how can it be blocked?

No I've got it all worked out if the turbo was seizing it wouldn't make boost its only making 0.6 bar so I'd say it's leaking somewhere one of the pipes meant to be 1 bar And now it's smoking like a bitch on boost I compression tested it and my results where this 50 55 75 100 100 125

Im sorry Ash, I've tried to stay out of this thread.

Your compression is wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyy f**ked.

Your motor has most likely sucked 1 of the 3 turbo's you have gone through.

You say you have it all figured out? I dont think you do. You need to go and buy another motor from the wreckers, this time you need to

  • Make sure you have a good fuel pump
  • Make sure you have working turbo's
  • Make sure you compression test the motor prior to dropping it in
  • Go and get a tune (for the love of god)
  • Don't come on here and ask for advice then turn around and say NO I have it all worked out. (very frustrating when you offer advice and it gets thrown in your face!)

So you had the same problem back in July? Or is this a new compression problem?

If it's a NEW compression problem i would suggest

1. Getting a better tune

2. Learning how to drive

3. Selling the car all together

after reading some of your posts I have to ask, how exactly did you go about doing the comp test ?

you say the rear turbo is the one that keeps blowing but the front 3 cylinders have the lower comp

      Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.

      No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).

      And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?

      Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?

      It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
