I took out the oil feed line and Blew compressed air threw it and it went threw fine.. it looks clean with no obstruction too. what would cause my turbo to blow in less than 200 miles?

I had a hydro shop rebuild my Oil drain line, and they made it a little to big.. So I guess when I was installing it had made a small crush right there:



Other than that the oil pump was replaced under 10k ago and looks new:


thank you for trying to help me Mike. I have no idea why My car is eating turbos... This is the 3rd gt28rs my car has eaten

 

Check your drain line, but do that you will need to drain the oil since it will come out of the pan.

You need to replace that oil drain pipe, that kink is causing the pressure to build up in the turbo and in the feed line and reducing the flow.

Just buy a fitting, an SS oil drain line, adapter/fitting for the pan.

 

Okay do you think thats what caused the turbo to die?

 

Where would you buy these lines? Or where in san diego would YOU have them made?

thanks again

 

Have no idea if that caused it but it sure isn't helping. If you need a set of lines made shoot me a PM.

 

There was no Smoke that ever came out of my exhaust(one of the first things I looked for). Oil supply line was clean with no obstuctions.(blew 30psi threw it and it came out the other side) regardless I am upgrading with SS. There were no deposits in the oil restrictor, infact when I was taking the housings off the CHRA was still bleeding oil out of it...





I Literally shut down my car and after it was running GREAT (even with a proper cool down.. Started it up 30 mins later and No boost at all(still vacs at ~20psi)

Pic of the impellers: No foreign object impellers look great with no bends at all...



I found this tho:


Lil youtube video.. I dont think this is good, I think this is the metal on metal sound I am hearing.. Would a cracked exhaust housing cause this?

thank you for all the insight. Its really frustrating not knowing what would cause my turbo to blow so soon.. I am hoping it was a faulty CHRA because there was oil in it and there was no foreign object invasion.. Maybe the oil return line?

 

Did you buy this Elim turbo new?

 

Yea like 6k ago. Went through 3 CHRAs now.. this is my third
