So long story short i have burned up quite a few turbos in the recent past. One was a Mitsubishi 16g, and another was a Mitsubishi 14b (No ebay crap). After the first one went i checked through everything, but it looked fine. My 14b is now smoking so now im second guessing my inspection. I checked:
1) my oil feed line coming straight from the oil pump was flowing oil fine.
2) oil return line was fine and not leaking
3) coolant lines were flowing well
4) lined up the banjo bolts during assembly
5) No exhaust leaks
My water temp has never been above 190, so im doubting its related to overheating. Im wondering if there is something i missed. What could be causing this? My best guess is too much oil pressure to the turbo, but is that even possible? I will hit a solid 80 PSI accelerating onto the highway, and the feed line comes straight from the oil pump. Is that too high to be feeding straight to the turbo?
Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks
