[Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo seals gone?

Post by pistol pete »

So phils rev2 forged engine (built by rogue) turbo is blowing blue.. grrrrrr

I am pretty sure its the hybrid turbo seals..

Basically couple weeks back we had a run out.. on over run it puffed some smoke..

Then yesterday took it for a run out ran and drove brilliant, many hard boosts no smokes that we noticed

Then just as coming back after sitting at constant speed, letting off.. lots and lots of blue..

Sitting on drive idling no smoke to speak off, rev it get some, and it cleared mostly..

Checked this more, compression all good, no use of any water etc, oil hasnt really gone down.
Took for a run only small amount smoke.. used boost afterwards there blue smokes still not losds but enough i expect after a few hard runs then it would get more..
. no smoke when on boost, its not always straight after boost can be after 20secs, then last for a while then clears

Oil in all boost hoses.. from turbo to intake, (some not excessive)

Car still runs prefect and sound and runs grear.. now back on the ramp of shame...
There is minimal shaft play on thrubo, no in out play at all
