    This morning on my way to drop the boy off at school I noticed I had a nice white haze coming from the exhaust. I checked the guages Oil Pres was fine, Boost ok so after I pulled over and popping the hood I noticed oil in the valley and a good bit of it. I really couldn't see were it was coming from. My guess is it is the Turbo Pedistol gasket. The reasoning behind this is I still have Boost and the engine is running fine. What do you think.

    After tearing it all down one of the seals on the inside of the turbo let go. The oil I was seeing was coming out of the back pressure valve. The turbo is getting sent out for rebuild tomorrow. I have one question. If I got the ATS ported housing it has a 4" intake vis 3" is there a kit to fix the make the last part of the intake 4"?

    The 4" intake tube should come with the ATS ported housing.

    Also, check out the oil lines going to and from the HPOP. The orings have a tendancy to leak.

    Tighten the bolts till they break and then back them off 3/4 of a turn.
