BAD TURBO / RB25DET 5xx RWHP

[BoostFab]

if so it has an internal restrictor that could have caused oil starvation because the stock turbo is bb............

running the motor toward redline usually add an extra 10-15psi of oil pressure on top of your base pressure, so you DO NOT want this oil pressure going through the turbo. as for BB turbos there's an internal restrictor is for this reason---prevent high oil pressure pushing through the seals. AN-3 oil feed line is the way to go, but you can use AN-4 with an inline restrictor.

you know the infamous turbo seals failure?

Well when i previously had called PTE prior to installation they recommended a -4 Feed with NO restrictor. On the previous 67 i had a -3 and the turbo had the seals blow out due to 'lack of oil' had it warrantied. So I went by their instructions of a -4 and now it looks like the 'big' shaft brakes.

you sound like nate. He went through a few turbos before he figured out the oil pump was slipping. Aren't you waiting on an intake mani from nate?

I have a brand new HKS manifold in my garage. I am not sure if I am going to use it or go topmount. If I get the right offer I will sell.

[SillyRB]

Well i took the turbo off on saturday, and all i can say is W o W. The exhaust wheel is missing, there is nothing there but a big hole. I don't even know what to say...hahaI am going to send it back today. I guesss we shall see what happens.
