BIG UPDATE!!!!

To answer all of your questions, I will try and get that all done in this post. First of all, I would like to thank EFILogics for having me almost the entire day Saturday getting all of the diagnostic and installs done. What was on the table to be taken care of:

-Re-Install of the rebuilt Tein SS-P rear coilovers
-Alignment
-Bleed brake fluid and replace with ATE Superblue
-Oil Change
-Find out where all of the oil is going

The first 4 were pretty simple and I have to say, I am very impressed Jack was able to get 2.25* camber in the rear off a stock system. I am running 2.5* front, 2.25* rear now.

Onto the main issue at hand. Rob worked his magic in diagnosis of my oil issue and came to the conclusion that my

engine is looking good!

Spark Plugs are clean with no oil on it, Compression check determined the following. Rob was very impressed an engine with 80k+ on it can pull this compression.

Cyl1:139
Cyl2:140
Cyl3:141
Cyl4:140

All good right? Well there are some things I have to do at sometime soon. The drivers side, cam seal is leaking a little bit, but definitely not 2.5 qts over 1000 miles. It hasn't even leaked enough to drip onto my skid plate yet. Also my Drivers side axle seal on the rear differential is leaking a little as well. So those are 2 maintenance items on my radar now.

Onto the turbo next:

Rob and Jack inspect the inlet and exhaust side of my turbo using a borascope and they really dont see any oil residue on it. Kind of surprized they look at the inlet side of the turbo and see some degredation of the compressor wheel blades which means some small stuff got by my APS intake. They then decided to take the downpipe off and check out the exhaust housing a little better and found that there was a good amount of shaft play (more then they would like). I think we now found my issue. Most likely causing my oil issues are during high boost, the thrust bearing is leaking oil with the added pressure and since the EGT's are so high, it is evaporating my oil, hence the smoke out of my tailpipe at high boost.

Way ahead....

I am going to be removing my turbo and selling it AS IS. Blouch offers a rebuild service starting at $349 so the new owner can have it rebuilt and have some of the nice Blouch options added if they would like. I know there are a few of you that read my journal that may be interested in this option. I do not know how much yet to sell it for, but I think $500-550 would be a good place since it needs to be rebuilt.

What do you think I am going to get now????? (Turbo Wise) (The people that know, keep out of this one :lol:)
