carbon seal for HA

It’s a positive seal on the inlet side. It’s needed because the turbo is subjected to engine vacuum. Modern turbo setups are all blow through and have rings. The rings have less drag but are not positive. Oil would be sucked right through and burned under high vacuum

thanks Bison , I have an IC setup do i still need the carbon seal?
No but you can’t just get rid of it without changing the backplate

Depends on the intercooled setup. Is it a hotair intercooled setup? If the throttle body is still attached to the front of the turbo it will need a carbon seal.

if its worked for 2 years why worry. my hot air turbo without a carbon seal lasted less than a day.sucked about a quart or so of oil out of the crankcase and smoked like hell. john
This setup doesnr need a carbon seal. Throttle body is after turbo.
