Cory and I picked his supra up from the mechanics today. They rebuilt his turbo feed/drain lines, wrapped his manifold, a few minor other things, and put his turbo back on after a fresh rebuild from PT.
On the way home I noticed at a stop light, when I would give the engine a bit of gas I would also see a significant amount of oil. The car has an open downpipe that ends right as it curves parallel to the ground. The really concerning part came when I stopped in his parking lot to go open the garage. There was alot of oil coming from seemingly everywhere. I popped the hood and it wasn't POURING out, but it was coming out pretty heavy.
I'm wondering if this is something that could be expected from a new (fresh build) turbo? I really cannot imagine so, but I'm not very educated on turbos.
I called the shop and they said that they ran the engine for half an hour to burn off the shit from the heat wrap and didn't notice any oil at all. That was pretty much it, they were not very helpful.
I was going to call PT and ask what their option was but they were closed for the day.
Does anyone have any ideas? I did not have much time once we got back to his place and the oil started up pretty good, so I do not have much more information than what I've already provided.
He recently had head work done, and did a compression test that yielded ~170 all across the board, so the engine should be in great shape...
Ideas ?
