SignUp Now!Is that the new style air cool dual bb?
need a blow off valve. withut it it is harder on these new billit turbos
Been running a 6262 water cooled turbo for about 4 years now, knock on wood, no issues.
Been running a 6262dbb for over 3 years on the street with many hard miles. No blow off valve and no issues. Only issue I have is keeping a set of rear tires on the car!My 6262 went bad quickly. Has anyone else had problems with their Turbo?

Unlike me at first, make sure you let the oil pressure get down to a warm operating temperature, too much oil psi is bad at first. Too much psi got my 6776 bb, (loved that turbo). At least I think that's what got it by getting on it early without letting the car warm up good, too many times and finally let go.
Here are some more tips.

my 6262 is air cooledIs your Turbo water or air cooled?
The seal can't really let go as a result of itself unless it was faulty to begin with. It's an iron sealing ring like a piston ring. There are a lot of possibilities as to why oil could get past it though.Clark6 said:That's possible too Bison as I was stumped as to I've gotten on it plenty of times over the few years I had that turbo with no problems until then. Guess I was grabbing at straws & couldn't find any other reason. lol.
Mine wasn't a bearing my seal let go on the exhaust side; shaft play and bearings were fine.
