Never wait on solving a oil problem. The majority of engine failures are due to lack of lubrication

still the gt28rs .86a/r, I had some exhaust leaks to take care of, and got a new less restrictive oil return fitting. All flanges I have on my car from atp are warped and I just finished making all new gaskets out of sheets of copper, what a pita. Anyways I'll be running this turbo for at least 2 more months then I'll be switching to the gt2871 .64 a/r
