i was runing a silvia last night and suddenly reving from 4000rpm up became harder for my supra, we had raced like three times before, could it be that my turbo died? it had side to side play, it´s the stock 200,000 miles ct26 :biglaugh: and today i checked the intercooler pipes and there is oil. i boosted it to 10psi that night. and now it sometimes boost to 6psi , I guess is already gone, i just want to know your experiences when your turbos had failed cause my engine revs kind of wird when turbo kicks in now, and last time i had problems like this but it was the cps not aligned corectly, today i checked it and it was ok. Can a damaged turbo look like cps problem? Thanks:cry:

Sounds like boost leak. Blown turbo signs include blowing smoke at idle and during deceleration, also if it gets bad enough the motor will not want to rev but at that points it's extremely noticeable. Your turbo seals could be going out, but that's not going to account for the loss of boost. The oil could also be PCV residue.
