alright her is the deal this weekend i started to work on my car because it started to run worse. I had seven codes. The reason i looked into it was because until the car got all the way warmed up when i would hit boost in any gear it would jerk back and forth until the right rpm then it would steady out and be consistent once i did that in every gear it would be fine. So for the most part i got that worked out but now i am getting almost the same thing in 4th and 5th gear and you can hear the turbo sputter. what might this be bad turbo? I only have two codes on now which is code 51 and 52. My oil kinda smells like fuel is this a bad problem. Can anyone please help me

Your oil is smelling like fuel uhm, YES THIS IS A BAD Problem. I am wondering if your ring are going. Does your car make black smoke or anything?

nope does not blow smoke at all and the hole engine has been rebuilt. But ya no smoke not knocks, no tings or any weird noises, other than the turbo sputtering

Are you 100% it's the turbo sputtering and not spark, not anything else?


Does the turbo make a weird sound, like a grinding, or Metallic noise?

nope it does not grind. I have the timing advanced 10% so it will run right (might be a result of the knock sensor code not sure what i have heard) but i can just here the turbo spool and then its like cutting out and once i hit a certain rpm it like is instant boost and car takes off

pull the dipstick on ANY car and smell it, my work truck, supra, girls car (brand new) other work van all have a faint smell of exhaust gas. if the rings sealed PERFECTLY id imagine there would be no need for a pcv system.

how badly the gas smell is is important but still not very helpful as to one person it may be strong, to another it may be "normal"
