quick update...not a good one though... the car was being run @ idle and everything seemed fine...UNTIL smoke started forming and them it was noticed that the turbo was leaking some oil. upon further inspection bits of metal were found in the oil, so the good guys at SCC are sending the turbo out to be remanufactured. there was no metal shavings found in the manifold or the oil return line, BUT the oil was pitch black. It was brand new synthetic mobil 1 oil. also there was no shavings found in the turbo, and there did not seem to be any evidence of damage to the innards of the turbo.
could it have been cleaning out the motor because of how long it was sitting? the pan will be pulled soon to see if there were any shavings in it. it may be a thrust ring, but idk... -------------------- |
