No oil going into ta49 turbo

[Brian Graphman]

Please help....got 86 GN new TA49 turbo from limit and have no oil supply to turbo and oil is blowing out exhaust. Much help would be appreciated

Check that have oil to turbo but coming out exhaust side of turbo and filling exhaust with oil

Maybe the turbo drain isn't running freely? Make sure it's not kinked or running horizontally. You want it to be at as steep of an angle as possible so the oil that goes in the turbo comes out the drain and nowhere else!

Remove the turbo and make sure you removed the rubber plug from the drain

Thoughts?

Remove the drain and check for the rubber plug that is usually installed to keep the dirt out of your turbo

No plug

Remove the turbo and verify the drain back is flowing. Use a funnel and dump a quart of oil in

Turbo had 100 miles on it and had no problem....one day noticed white smoke blowing out exhaust as I examined seen oil out the turbine housing so I took off and sent back to Limit. They rebuilt it or just exchanged it and I put it back on and same deal. Would it be a turbo issue or engine issue? I did buy it brand new from Kirban. Im a little confused on y it was ok for the first 100 miles and then now after warranty work from Limit and back on same issue.

In post #2 you stated it was coming out of the turbo. If you haven't verified it's not coming from the engine Id do that first. First take off the crossover and run it and see if it smokes. You also never stated what the failire analysis was when you sent it in

I got oil from supply going to turbo. But as its running i see oil seeping threw exhaust housing. It defiantly smokes.

Kirban or Limit never told me what warranty work was done which I thought was odd
