I finally got my engine rebuild done and the F-max turbo setup installed. I get all juiced up and go for the first test drive

Then I notice a faint white smoke coming from under the car

I pull it into the garage and track it down it is coming from where the the down pipe meets the exhaust. No big deal I thought just check the seal and tighten it up...........WRONG. it had oil dripping out of it. I look and it is coming from the turbo

So I just called Adrian at Turbonetics who said it was a seal in the turbo and to send it back and it will be replaced under warranty

Now for the bad part I have to take it off again. It is so dang tight to get it off and on!!:madfawk:

 

sorry to hear it.

 

at least they are replacing it

 

could be worse.. it could have been a hole in your case. h:

 

I know it could have been worse so I'm glad in that aspect.

On a side note when taping the oil pan who high up on the oil pan did you all go?

 

I'd just leave the piping and everything in, and not drive for a while

 

i guessed and followed the guy from www.turbocivic.net

 

As high as possible.

 

I hear ya, I had so many problems with my turbo I finally gave up and sold the car. I just plan on going all motor with my CRVTEC.
