How could you be 3 quarts low? The capacity is only 3.5 quarts. I would think you would run into other problems (like oil starvation and a dead engine, if you were really that low).
Buy my OEM MSP turbo
direct fit yo. PM me if interested. Otherwise if you want to upgrade, your talking about a new exhaust manifold too and probably replacing all your other piping, etc...

Thanks for the offer jrodhotrod will keep that in mind
yup i think that's probably why.. when there's no backpressure ( when one of the turbo pipes are disconnected) the turbo spins faster than its suppose to burning out the seals.. which is exactly what the guys did on my car while testing my car.. they freakin ran my car with just a filter and my MAF on my tb with a filter and left the turbo on the car.. basically the turbo was spinning to its destruction.. too late to fix that now since i'm aftermarket... so more money for me to spend...

where did you read this? from my little knowledge, you wouldnt want any backpressure because that would cause turbo to spin the other way and damage it. isnt that why people have bov or whatever? really doesnt make any sense to me. i could be wrong.CustomMSP said:That's what I read
yup.. they messed up a lot of my s***.. the snapped oen of my bolts that hold the tranny to the engine.. they gave me an oil leak on the MBSP.. put ****** dents in my car.. and completely did a shitting ass job on my pipes.. so basically i got over charged and fudged balled in the arse

Back pressure is not reverse pressure. No, your turbo would not spin in reverse. I was kind of worried about this question also, thats why i was just about to post that question. My turbo kit is all in 'cept for the intercooler piping. So I have the CAI on and the turbo is just sitting there. I proped open the wastgate so the turbo would not spool very much, and was gonna drive the car to work on monday to weld up the pipes. I was worried about overspooling. So i put a cap on the outlet of the turbo with about a 5/8 hole in it. Then the turbo would have a little back pressure to keep the rpm's on it down. Sound like a good idea? I havent driven it yet, so if this is a bad idea i havent hurt anything yet. At idle and even partial throttle the turbo just sits there. Is does spool up though if i rev it up though.
Well, it looks like it wont be a problem blowing the turbo. I was working on mounting up the intercooler to do my driving to work idea, when i noticed oil had dripped onto the garage floor. So I trace it up to the outlet of the turbo. Their was quite a bit of oil in it. Also when i backed it out yesterday, I noticed it smoked some. I let it sit there and idle for a few minutes and it went away. I just figured it was some of the high temp paint or something burning off of the inside of the pipes, but now that I see the oil in the cold side, I think the seals are probably already bad. So much for the used turbo. That dick i got it from said it was fine. No smoking. I tore it all apart and cleaned it up, and everything had apeared fine. O well. Ive found a rebuild kit for about $120, and a place that I can get the bearings to convert it over to full bearinged, for a pretty good deal. Damn.

Door jam say 8/06? (or around there) It's the seals....
