Why does my car eat turbos for lunch?


Because they're crunchy and often taste good with Ketchup. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif But seriously, +1 on running oil feed from stock point on the head. It's prolly getting too much oil pressure.



I would bet that they would be fairly crunchy, especially after they get blown up from running on my whip, but with ketchup? thats adventurous. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

I am using the hole in the housing that is right below the one in the pictures on that website...... Cant tell if thats filtered or not from their diagrams.



If you are using the bottom hole in this picture; http://www.roadraceengineering.com/instructions/oilline/oillinelocation-1g.jpg , you are feeding your turbo unfiltered oil. That's why your turbos are dieing.

 

This is the hole that I am using. Unfiltered?

Correct. Unfiltered. In all likelihood this is why you are killing turbos. Not because of high oil pressure.

 

Ill be sure to thank the P.O. for installing that there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

I Might just go off the head still because i am not running that large of a turbo..... If I ever switch back to the OFH i guess ill know then.
