It's a lack of cooling from oil flow that will shorten it's life considerably. If you can live with shortened life then fine. If not change the oil drain to one that isn't restricted and leave the oil flow as it should be. Remember: Just because others do it doesn't make it right.

hmm well ive read several people on the honda forums using them with plan old t3's, ive put a recon kit on it, it dont somke when the oil drain flows freely, but where my turbo sits thats hard work. its getting about 45psi of oil on tickover!

For ball bearing turbo's not plain bearing ones. If a plain one burns oil you need to recon it, not oil starve it.

yeah, when the car was on idle it used to smoke so much. I read somewhere that it could be down to too much oil trying to pass through the turbo and forcing its way passed the seals in the turbo. only happened on idle and not on the inlet side. cost me £10 posted.

true but without taking the engine out and modding the dropgear houseing theres no where for it to go. I want to take it back to the rollers but with all the smoke, they cant do much with the readings/tuning.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
