Well, you get what you pay for. This should help out other guys thinking about buying an ebay turbo. Better to do it right the first time.

You did a compression test and it came out good. That still doesn't mean its burning oil. Could be bad valve stem seals which won't effect compression


Eitehr way get the brand name Garret and see what its like after a few days.

valve stem seals on a low milleage engine? I dont know.


Without the turbo the car doesnt smoke at all. Defenetly the oil is coming from the turbo as you can see in the pic.

Ohh yeah?! Well get a load of the super 60 that came off of my car. This is as bad as it gets. It was water cooled.
