I finally got the gtx running. Ha such a fun car even at 8 lbs. Right now though there seems to be oil leaking out of the hot side of the turbo and burning up when driving it. It is a hybrid turbo with the vj-9 housing and intake and vj-14 exhaust. Also it doesn't get to 8 lbs of boost until almost 5k, that seems super high but I dont know, it seems like its about 5 psi at 3.5k and then just snaps and hits 8psi at about 5k. I am wondering what are the best options if it turns out my turbo is puking oil like it seems.
1. Have turbo rebuilt, how much would that be? who does it?
2. Put another stock turbo I have back on it that wasn't spitting any oil?
3. Would the turbo off my bpt bolt up and how much bigger or better would it be?
Basically I was with my buddy and he said to have it rebuilt and I could do it for about 3 hundred maybe less. I did not want to spend that if thats what it cost to rebuild it when I have a perfectly good stock one and a bpt.... Unless of course my hybrid is that much better. Apparently my car is chipped to run 18lbs of boost. I have an intake and a 3" turbo back exhaust.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I will have a video up soon, haha so much smoke though its kinda sketch.
