Yeah.Is up and running good but the oil leak is killing me.I cant put silicone in there cus where's leaking is the feeding goin in to the turbo and that gets really hot and the silicone would just melt.Send me some pics with the turbo on.

Maybe you could try one of those thread sealants like in the little bottles. They come red and blue. I know blue is 'regular service' and if you use red then you have to use a torch to remove it. Maybe that'd work.

you should have used teflon tape on all the fittings... if you didnt' go back and do it otherwise it will become one leak after another

The only fitting i didnt put the teflon tape was on the fitting goin in to the turbo.Ill try the teflon tape 2morrow and see.Other then that i have no leaks.
