Cocoa beach is about 1hr and 45min to 2 hours from you. By mail it would probably get to you around tuesday or wednesday.

 

damn, i would drive up there, thats about how far i figured it sounds familiar, but i have no way to get up there ill pm my address thanks for the help

 

also what do you want for the head? is it bare

 

Before you assume that your valve stem seals are in fact bad, do the compression test. Also, does it smoke at idle, or more specifically, did it smoke at idle before the turbo swap (while the old turbo was bad)? What was the source of the 16g, and what's its story (mileage..)? Did you clean out your intercooler and pipes? How is your oil return line; clogged?

 

^^What he said. Maybe your picking up the oil left in the IC?

 

Are you sure everything is bolted up right to the turbo? Specifically, the exhaust mani to the housing and housing to down pipe? When i went from t25 to 14b, i didn't tighten up the bolts from exhaust mani to the exhaust housing on the turbo and smoke was all over the place from that.

 

intercooler is so clean no you can drink out of it, smoked like a bitch before the swap and after, the 16g is pretty much brand new, i bought from pj (tonedef) has like 15 miles on it, i cleaned everything from the oil lines, coolant lines, intercooler pipes before the swap so i didnt get unwanted shit in the turbo, and all the bolts are tight and how they are supposed to be bolted on

 

"smoked like a b*tch" sounds like a turbo problem (which you had), and if it's smoking the same..?..
P.J.s car didn't smoke, as far as I know.
IDK, valve stem seals don't usually cause a car to "smoke like a b*tch", but then, I guess that's subjective...perhaps we have different ideas as to what "smoked like a b*tch" is.

 

Nah, seafoam is solie, do a search in DSMtuners and you can learn allot about it.

If you dump a shit load in. well.... natural selection speaks for itself.

But if you do it proper itll work out well

I need to pick some up but havent had time. I need to make a gasket for my SS clutch line, im leaking BAd!!



blue grey, hope its also not head gasket............

turbo first, remaining oil, compression test. manifold seal. oil line seals.....

that leaves head gasket too. hmf.

 

well, im almost positve it is the seals because it would idle like it had a miss and would run like shit after the swap, pulled the plugs and they were fouled with oil and no longer good, put new plugs in ran like a champ for a couple of minutes, then ran like shit again, pulled those plugs and they were the same as before. i havent had time to do a compression test yet, but if the new turbo was bad , why would it cause my plugs to keep fouling
