Comp turbo leaking oil in to hotside

[jade]

What size is Your drain line?

Describe Your crankcase ventilation system, pls.

Oil return supplied by 034 has a 14mm interior

crankcase ventilation system at the moment is venting directly to atmosphere, I have not connected the catch tank yet.

was that oil return for a bearing turbo though?? and not for a garrett BB turbo?

I asked 034 to supply the lines for a to4e, but i think oil return could be a bit on the small size

how big does it compare to the OEM oil return line?

The original oil return has a 16mm versus 12 to 13 mm from 034 i think will up size the return diameter & see if that helps it flow better

[A80Avant]

let us know if that solves the problem

[Jamo]

comes to think of though... who is the top indorcer of these turbos....funny aint it?

That has nothing to do with it

[A80Avant]

as irrelevant as your comment about garretts is..

Really then explain how you and countless others are flocking away from the tried and tested or hammering said tuner with questions over the turbo?

My comments were on the product your was an attempt at a personal attack big difference indeed.

the oil return line does play indeed a big role there! Lets hope the turbo has no bigger damage!

These last few posts are irrelevant to Jade's thread.If you want pm me to talk about it jamo, so as i said before, Wayne,let us know what happens

a nice big oil return helps. as does vertical entry and exit

**** happens. there are many a good product out there and all have return rates.

id say that both comp and garrett do good turbos. or whoever else. just because 2 people have had issues doesn't make them ****.

i myself prefer the precision turbos. never had an issue so.... doesn't make them any better or indeed worse than the rest.

we are talking very similar items here and i have read about many an issue where centre sections are not at correct angle or have adequate in and out flow or restrictor issues thats hurting seals.

get it flowing in well and just as importantly out well and turbos are in general mega-reliable.

The lead is quite direct the angle looks good

If i use larger hose and fittings. The exit of the turbo is 13mm & the entry in to the sump is 13mm the only thing i will have is bigger hose between these points, not sure if that will help the flow much, It might help a little
