i know that my turbo blew...i thought my lines were pinched and that is why it went...but when i took things apart to get my turbo out..i found oil in the turbo..in the bov pipes...what does that mean...??? did i just blow my turbo or may it be something serious...?

Probably just have bad oil seals in the turbo. It's either time for a rebuild or to get another one.

you mean turbo rite?????

some oil is expected. brand new srt-4's , etc. have oil in the i/c piping. may have bad seals but if it's just a little oil, nothing to worry about.

I just got your PM. How many turbos have you gone through? Have you installed the SS lines? Is it a little oil or a lot? If it's a little, there's nothing to worry about. Does your exhaust smoke?

yea exhaust smokes there is nit that much oil...enough to wipe off
