Low comp pistons ftw, should handle the power you are aiming for then.Not too sure on bb turbos, but take the comp and turbine housings off and see what's in there, check for lots of oil on the comp side and wet black charcoal on the exhaust side.

cabrioman 6 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 there is nothing in the comp side nice and clean but there is loads of fresh engine oil in the exhaust side so not sure if its the turbo seals gone or the engine passing oil into the exhaust .....

legvw 0 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Have you removed the turbo? Then you could see if it's out of the engine or not? Link to post Share on other sites

AJmk2 2 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 With my old setup my turbo seal went and filled my intercooler with oil so it seemed to smoke even after i fixed the turbo. If its just oil seal you may as well abuse the motor a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 na ive called it a night now decide to take it off the road for a year to get it all rebuilt and ready to abuse and raise some hell with it in 2013 ..... Link to post Share on other sites
