    TURBO HELP oil on compressor wheel & coming out of BOV!

    Hey guys looking for some info on what to do. I've been noticing a little bit of oil coming from my BOV lately, so I decided to take off the air intake piping and noticed that there was oil on the turbine as well. The car runs fine, no smoke on start up or when I get on it. I've looked online at other forums and some people say use catch cans, some say the seal is blown and need to be replaced, that an oil restrictor would fix the problem, and that the oil return line could be blocked. What I want ot know is what should I try first. Don't know if this helps but this is what I've got on it GReddy kit running 10lbs, GReddy intercooler, GReddy BOV, turbo timer, boost gauge reads fine and the A/F reads normal too. I guessing that the seal needs to be replaced... but GReddy is a nazi about selling rebuild kits for it. So if anyone knows where I can get one it'd be helpful.

    blaastperformance.com has some really good deals on t3/t04 turbos in the 350-500hp range, and a couple in the 200-350 range. theres one thats cheaper than the ebay turbo with garret internals($390 for an ebay turbo and rebuild), and one that costs the same. the rebuilds cost about 250+/- and are warrantied for 6 months. even on the ebay turbos.

    and they offer upgrades like water cooling and compressor wheels.
