so...
got the car.. had the stock turbo, it was blown and nasty and lightly smoking...
put a new mani and a stupid cheap ebay 60-1 on and it still smoked. So i replaced valve stem seals... still smoked and the turbo ate itself in less then 50 miles, massive shaft play and blow by.
SO said no more cheap and bought a really nice t-67 and another new manifold and watsegate and redid the oil drain for max flow.
WELP the new turbo is now trashed after less then 20 mils and has shaft play and was just started to touch the housing. WTF.....
anyone know of a notorious oil pressure issue wit these or something cause i dont wanna fix this turbo and have it blow again....
