Ok here is the deal. My oil light comes on at idle, Temp gauge gets up there(Fan is on but temps are not going down), Smoke is coming out of the exhaust(Oil). The motor is warm also. I just rebuild my whole motor. Everything is new on that motor. My turbo has not even 500 miles on it got it from FTF motorsports. There are only two things we can think the problem is. The cooling system has a air in it and the oil seals are bad in the turbo. I talk to a local shop here and they said they got three t3/t4 turbos that were bad. What do you guys think??

that was yesterday.....

today we flush all the cooling system. Everything is ok so far. But there is still aittle bit of smoke coming out. I still dont know if the oil seal on the turbo is bad yet. Just going to break the motor and see what happens. Chris I will hook up with you Sat. Please guys...
