covertrussian Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Flushing the oil won't do a thing. If you want your turbo and engine to live another month, dig those filters out. It might be too late on the turbo though. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Remove the banjo filter. change the oil. Listen to the turbo, have a plan in place for a new one. When the whine changes to a whistle, shut the engine off, replace the turbo. I got 1000 miles out of mine before it changed to a whistle as I left the driveway going to work one day. I turned around drove back to the house about 1/4 mile and ordered the vf52 from Mike at http://www.AZPinstalls.com Called him before 10AM, had the vf52 the next day. I got lucky. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
