so i built my truck last summer/winter.
runs 10psi on stock motor.
had what was supposed to be a garret turbo but didnt
say garret on it.
ran amazing all this time and a few weeks ago i noticed a small
squealing at a steady rpm range coming from my turbo.
woke up this morning to go get breakfast. was going up the road and
noticed my boost wasnt building as fast as normal. so i got on it a bit and
a horrible sound coming from my turbo sounding like a atmospheric wastegate
opening. im only builing a total of 3-4 psi now. im guessing peice of shit turbo
but could oil be a problem? i have a oil adapter from oil filter that take oil to my turbo. it gets oil great. i have a garret turbo from my brother off of a Xr4Ti.... but i do not want to put it on a ruin it too....
2nd question. can the garret turbo be ran without having the coolant ran to it? my origional turbo is oil cooled, the Xr4Ti is oil+coolant.... am i able to run it without hooking it up to coolant?
if i take the garret turbo apart, does it need a rebuild kit to put it back together without it leaking?
Please Help... lol
