babybaluga32 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Does this look like it would burn oil if I put it on ? Well it does. Im going to rebuild it in the next few days, but not if thats normal. http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/1067/img1996u.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 sounds like your turbo may have a blown seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted April 27, 2011 I Donated Share Posted April 27, 2011 I bet that turbo has a ton of shaft play. No, thats NOT normal. Send the turbo off to get rebuilt....or replace it. What turbo is that? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

babybaluga32 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Is shaft play due to the seal's being bad? Its a td04-13T Im going to rebuild it this weekend probably.. This was my replacement. My 21 year vf11 was burning oil too, but nowhere near as bad as the td04! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Shaft play is due to the bearings being worn. Most turbos are fitted with labyrinth seals, so once the bearings are worn, then the seals start to leak past.

GTTuner Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 sounds like your turbo may have a blown seal. Sounds personal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybaluga32 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Could the turbine blades be damaged from the shaft play. From it being so unbalanced? Also at idle its almost as if its flooding itself, I think its due to a lack of air at lower rpms? Is that common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
