irconflict Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have a slow oil leak from my oil return line under my turbo, and am contemplating the best way to get at it without removing a million things. Any input on the best way to get to it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 totally. best way to fix this is to get a VF52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Pretty much what he said. You may also want to look at getting bolts to replace the studs in the up pipe. Oh you do have a catless up pipe correct ? It's much easier to bolt the turbo on and line up the inlet, new oil return hose and up pipe at the same time using bolts. The inlet duct is very old and easy to cut trying to get it over the turbo inlet. With bolts that hold the up pipe bracket to the block the job is much easier. I have a picture in my click here link somewhere. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
