Sounds like the seals are gone. I had this same issue on my WRX. Mine only smoked at idle and then mostly after a prolonged idle. The seals just went after 100k miles. Rebuild it yourself and save a little money. A decent rebuild kit for most rebuildable turbos is like $100. Most of the time you can find instructions online.

yea it's not smoking while driving jus at idle.. where can i find a good rebuild kit... thanx...:goodjob:

[Jason..]

[Benefit]

seals are more than likely blown

but

are you running a restrictor? i have a .06 one if you want it...:goodjob:

[green91]

is your oil return able to gravity drain.. no low spots or kinks? also are you running a restrictor. any oil in your charge pipes?

[RUFFIAN]

:police: I'm thinking seals. If you keep pushing it, it will start passing oil.......Bad Times.:headslap:

[B20kid]

it's a garrett T3/T4... no i don't have a restrictor..

[AnthonyF]

self contained supercharger FTW

It depends on the specs of the turbos.

The CFM, A/R, and Trim all determine the spool up and air movement characteristics of a turbo..

BTW, I'll let that rebuild kit go for $45, it's just sitting in my closet wasting space.

[B20kid]

cool lets set a meet time:goodjob: if it's agood rebuild kit:goodjob:

[B20kid]

is it something i can do myself???????:thinking:

[KPowerEP3]

Yeah it's a full kit, just PM me and we can set something up.
There are DIYs on the internet. This is for a DSM (http://www.vfaq.com/mods/Turbo-rebuild.html) but, try googling turbo rebuild or something similar.
