I was thinking that but hope not.

try using a little bit of lucas or a tiny bit of smoke be gone (molasses) and see what that does for you.
yeah the motor is stock. I had swapped the ca t25 for the sr one. The oil seals went out on the sr unit so I put the ca one back in. There is very little shaft play on the turbo, and it didn't smoke before I swapped it out for the sr one the first time. haven't tried the smoke be gone stuff yet so I'll give it a shot. If anyone else has suggestions please feel free to comment as well.
thanks guys Wei
