No real drastic change in weather here, although when it started happening the first time, it was cold and raining...
I got a chance to work on my car this weekend for a little...
I have a couple probs...
the tach seems to be fine now, and there seems to be no more "jumping" occuring, but it stills takes a long time to boost up...
I mean if i floor it in 2nd at 2 grand, i dont get 2-3 lbs of boost steady until like 4000rpms...then it only boosts up to 6 or 7 when it's hitting 7000 rpms???
My buddy has a T3/T4 and it don't even take that long to boost up...WTF??
I checked, rechecked for boost leaks, none found.
I am so fed up I'm about to just give up on the damn thing.
I replaced the blown t25 with my bro's perfect, (no shaft play AT ALL) 14b, and it worked great for like 3 weeks.
I DID NOT install a restrictor for the oil on the 14b, because I thought my other turbo might have blown cause of the lack of oil???
So now I have A real problem with the car burning oil, and there is TONS of oil in the charge pipes. so much in fact, that it "blows off" onto the hood, and everything???? I've consulted DSM guys and my buddies who turbo everything...
Hell dude even has same setup as me, B16a w 14b, and his rips!!!
I've determined it to be a couple of things, and i hope u guys can help me figure it out.
The oil supposedly gets in there from "blown turbo seals", yet the turbo was perfect when first installed, and oil pressure was same, so if the seals "blew out" even though they are METAL, it should've happened right away??? WTF? this is sooooo annoying...
The car works perfect, at idle, driving and everything, just that it takes for ever to boost up, and it burns oil like crazy under and after boosting????
I've done the PVC system, so it's not coming in through the PVC system... We even took off the PVC line to the PRE-Turbo pipe, and it still smokes like crazy....

Here is a prob that I noticed after the other problems started---the pvc valve was still being used, connected to the pre-turbo pipe, but the opening was cut off because of the piping and a mistake when we put on air filter---therefore, the crankcase was being pressurized by itself, and could not relieve it's pressure, this is my hypothesis... So is the turbo blown, I mean I could just get another 14b for like $100, but I wanted to see what u guys thought.

It could be broken piston rings, cause something rattles uunder boost and accel, but then the motor would smoke ALL the time, not just under boost??
I'm really gettin annoyed with this thing, it's supposed to be a very fast car, yet it runs like shit...
Thanks for the help guys.
Later.
