heres a link to all the pictures and a nice explanation of everything [click me](http://www.escorttuner.com/index.cfm?fa=forum.viewThread&thread_id=2066) a breif explanation… started work at 9am friday…turbo mounted/coolant/oil plumbed by 9pm, couldn’t find any of the right parts, thats why it took so long… saturday morning, started plumbing for intercooler, and made the downpipe… sund, everything mount, start it up, let it run… turns out oil seals inside turbo are blown, and it smokes like a bitch, and slowly drips oil… by about 5pm today (sunday) put all the n/a gear back on… very pissed off…but…got most of the work done… and to the motherfucker that sold me the turbo… :madfawk: later ---

I turbo’d one car once where it was smokeing really bad once i got it running, and pulled my hair out b/c my new turbo \*i thought was bad. Turned out that one of the breather lines was pulling oil up and blowing it into the intake. Might want to check that… all i did was mock up a catch can. ---

shalerpunk- ya man, i saw you the other day…we both kinda stared at each other…did you use to deliver pars for mccandless auto parts??? anyway, i’m pretty sure the turbo is blowing oil, my passenger side engine bay is covered w/ oil… but what i’m gonna do is, send it to dallas turbo, they said they’d check it for free, and than send it back if nothing was wrong… later ---

garrett turbos do not like to have a lot of oil pressure at idle, too small of a return line will also cause billowing smoke, garrett center sections have an oil bypass on them that if pressure is too high in the cartridge it will push oil out the housing. ---

whitey, could you send me some pics… perferred of the downpipe side, where it hooks to the manifold, and the compressor side (turbo-intercooler…) could be interested, not tooooo sure yet, i’m gonna try to put a pressure valve into the oil line… hopefully that’s it ---

atleast i’m getting some props for this build… the escort world is actually getting pretty crazy… 545 hp turbo charged escort running 11’s in the 1/4 rear wheel drive conversion on the same car many escorts w/ jspec motors in them… lambo doors it’s suprising to see the enthusiasm to a grocery getter like an escort… atleast it’s not a honda…
