So close to being done the T2. Everything fabricated, wired, plumbed, connected. Turns out my motor has awesome compression, but my oil seals are bad. Blowing oil and tons of smoke out of the downpipe. This sucks so much *** it's not funny. Guess I need to get a job...



Here are some pics I hadn't posted yet...

Modified the front bumper for additional air flow, and because I really don't care much about it...

Welcome to my world. Just make sure its not the turbo, or adding too much premix. Is the level of oil in the pan going down?

We thought it was aturbo problem back when I bought the car. That's what started this entire ordeal. When I purchased the new turbo, it needed friends... So I ended up with a Haltech, FMIC, etc.



New turbo is on, guess it wasn't the turbo after all.
