  1. Fixed m turbo oil drain leak today, did it from underneath on the hoist, heaps easier than taking the turbo off, just popped off the drive shaft and dropped the arm out of the way.

    Also plumbed in my oil cooler with a sandwhich plate and braided line set up, goes good, gets fricken hot though.

    It now takes 6 litres of edge 10w60 i.e more than one bottle, lucky im high roller.

    Bring on the track day!!

  2. +1

    I had all 3 plumbed to a can with no vacuum on the crank case and I was using 3 litres of oil in less than 5000km on a brand new engine.

    Too much crank case pressure can cause a pressure build up between the rings, especially if running higher boost than factory, the pressure escapes on the wrong side of the rings and takes oil with it.

    Once I plumbed my PCV and breather back into the intake I stopped using oil.

    IMO the best way is to use an air oil seperator or a closed loop catch can that still has vacuum on the outlet.

    Im currently using an SM motorsports AOS similar to the grimmspeed and prova ones but it doesn\'t work that well.

    ...and before anyone shoots me down, some people dont have any issues running with a can vented to atmosphere, but it sure smells bad!!

  3. thats what I thought, but it does have Big16G dimensions. I did have the choice of quite a few but 18G and 20G wheels looked like exact copies of genuine wheels and dont think I would have tried putting a taiwanese 3071 into an expensive garret core. Think I\'d much rather test the waters with a cheap and cheerful TD05.

    if it lets go at 1.5 bar probably the worst that might happen is damage my FMIC core
