NotMyGT Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Let me preface this first: The car has no power loss, just oil consumption and a leak what looks like from the turbo without complete disassembling. My friend and I think it could possibly be a bad oil ring in the turbo. The turbo doesn't have any weird sounds or anything of that sort, like impellers hitting metal. Let me know what you guys think. Also, if a rebuild is required any sources to send the turbo to? Thank you! Edit: Dismantle will be coming in the near future just wanted input. I will check the shaft for and play and see if there's any oil before the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shutterbc Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Are you sure that isn't just a sign of intercooler end tank separation? I take it you run > 16psi boost, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
