Lost the turbo on my car back in Sep. Sucked oil into the motor and fouled 2 plugs. The seal is probably leaking oil, pull off the intake side and look for oil.

intake of the turbo ?

 

[Dunebilly]

Ok I'll. Check

Still have the factory breather hooked to the turbo inlet bell?

 

[Dunebilly]

nope i got breathers

 

[Dunebilly]

If the stock turbo crapped the bed with my present setup is it only possible to use only the stock turbo or is there other options for s stock setup that are a step up

3 gallons?

You can step up to a larger stock type turbo.

what company makes a decent one like that

Precision turbo.

Lol. I was replying to a text message on my phone. Apparently I was in the wrong field. Fwiw a 200-4r with an aftermarket pan needs about 3 gallons of oil with a 9.5" converter

I've got a stock appearing ta49 with a Garrett .63 if you're interested. Zero run time. It's in my sig.

You can also get your stock turbo rebuilt, I read a post that stated you wont really see much difference between the stock turbo and a ta49 until you run over 22lbs of boost. If you plan on running those boost levels then a ta49 would be a great choice if not just rebuild your stocker its should be good up to 22lbs.
