Turbo has been blowing a lot oil past the compressor side bearings, so it's time for a rebuild. dry.gif It's been a while since I've had to work on this thing though, so can't complain too much. Going to fix and change a few things while I'm at it. Was bored and decided to shoot a quick photo.

I keep the empty bottles to fill up with old fluids. I do a lot of car work, not just my cars. wink.gif The bottles on their sides are empty.

I also typically buy straight antifreeze and dump half into an old canister and fill both up with water. It's cheaper.

I bought the turbo from Pookdizzle used, so I'm not sure how many miles. On the way to H20 last year, I started to notice the blow by. After my trip to Richmond in the car a couple weekends back, It got pretty bad. My IC is full of oil, and the front side of block has been painted with oil from the BOV. Switching back to the forge recirc valve, finally.

It's coming.. I haven't had much time to work on it. Have a couple small items to wrap up on the stairs, and have one more bathroom to remodel. Then I have two major projects outside I have to do, new drive way and new walkway. Those two together will probably cost me 8-10k. mad.gif

Wanna throw some other items in the box ? biggrin.gif I still have PM's from last Fall about BOV's that needed welding and others that needed to be pulled.
