get a new line, im guessin its cracked and its rubber. if your smart youll at least get some stainless steel braided hose from a local hot rod performance shop and use that instead.

My car smoked like that too I had to replace my turbo because the seals were bad in it!

Question? Is the turbo new or used?

Did the car smoke before you put the kit on?

If the oil is puddling then you have a leak! Get under the car with it running and find the leak!! STOP the leak then test it again if you get!

If you get smoke from the tail pipe then you have a bad turbo!

Give the exhaust time too burn everything out of it!

Also make sure that you don't have any vacume lines running into your valvecover as this would cause positive preasure under boost and could cause the same problem!

Without a pvc check valve in the line it causes preasure into the cover and waalla you have exhaust smoke!!

A rubber oil feed or return line? I would certainly hope not.

You need to check to make sure where it is coming from... it looks like it's coming fomr under the header, which is where the oil lines to the turbo are. Well when the car has been sitting for a while (so that it's cool under the hood), feel around under there and make sure you know the source.

then turbo has been through 2 owners,. and the last person rebuilt the turbo,


alrighty, i changed the tube from the turbo to the oil pan, i saw the old tube and it looked shrunkin and ruined. hopefully that was the problem, so once i replaced that i was happy, although i still smell somethin when i drive, is it just the turbo smell, because the owner before would always tell me that he hated smelling the turbo fumes. its irritating ! anyother suggestions thanks

There's no such thing as "turbo fumes". Either you're leaking something onto the turbo, which is causing the smell, or you have an exhaust leak.
