ok, this is the deal, i just finished a gt28rs with taka lines, front mount power fc etc, once i got my car together the cars starts to smoke really bad, oil burning it seems like, blue smoke, if i rev the car up it gets worse, no blown head gasket and the car is not running rich, i heard something about a restrictor on the taka lines, which im not running, could the be it, or could it be that the turbo seals are bad, brand new turbo by the way, please help thanks guys any other options, let me know.

if you run aftermarket lines like taka you need to use a retrictor or you will blow the seals on the turbo, if you use the stock lines you dont need a restrictor. Basically go get a restrictor and hope the turbo isnt toast.

ok, so checked and the oil line does have a restrictor, i call phase i got the lines from them and they said that the lines come with a restrictor on them already, it has the banjo fitting on them and im using the stock bolt from the block, so now im f**** confused, if the lines have a restrictor, why would my turbo seals bad on the knew turbo, any body with this problem, let me know. thanks

I know this is a longshot, but plug the stock computer back in. Try to isolate it to it stricly being the turbo. You could just be running rich from the PFC base map.

ok, new update, i decided to pull the turbo out, when i first put it in i missed some washers on the turbo, i thought the it will be fine cos i put the washers on the block side, but no, it leaked water, so when im pulling the turbo, i find out that the oil return line on the turbo is bend, theres no way all the oil was going to get back in to the pan with the line bend, so it had to come out trought the turbo seals, i think, so i will be puting everything back together once i get knew oil return line and metal gasket everywhere, does someone know where to get the oil return line from, just like the taka lines im runing if i could, thanks guys i will keep you posted.
