Who is running the K24 7400 turbo, what are you using for oil feed? It should be different from stock, so i'm wondering what exactly. It will bolt on to the standard flange, but it wont clear the cold side.
Long story short: My turbo lasts between rebuilds less than an oilchange, so it's a bit annoying. The turbo has been rebuilt 2 times now, results are the same, in less than 5kkm it starts smoking and has longitudinal shaft play. I'm guessing the CHRA is toast so next rebuild will not help. The turbo is modified to 1/8NPT thread on oil feed, so i have custom line with the thread in the end, i think it should be fine, but i'm not sure anymore.
What i would like to know is if the oil feed on Volvo is different than Audi standard or is it basically the same (just feed line, no restrictor in it). Also anyone who is running the turbo successfully what oil feed are you using? During one rebuld i had stock K24 7000 with stock oil feed on my car, it didnt smoke or develop shaft play on mine, so it would indicate that the oil feed from the block is good enough.
I have a replacement K24 7400 to swap in the car, but i dont want to kill that turbo also if the problem is in the oil feed and not in the current turbo.
