Oil feed line to turbo

[TurboAlero]

Hey people , well since I changed the feed line to the turbo, I noticed when I test drove it that there was oil comming out of the compres housing , where the compressor wheel is.

What does that mean I need to restrice the oil ??
to much oil to the turbo maybe?

If nothing else changed and it appeared after you installed a larger line more than likely. I assume you are using a metal line and not oil resistant rubber hose unless you intend to start a fire under the hood at some point, like I almost did once.

Just make sure you are sure the oil wasn't already there and you are just now noticing it. Restricted airfilters can cause it as well as a worn bearing, usually insufficient drain flow pushes oil into the turbine housing creating lots of smoke in my experience because it's easier for oil to get past the turbine seal.

What size line did you put in?

Well I dont know the size but, I but the line in a kit for a T3/T4 turbo, it came with all the fittings and the feed line, the drain line is 5/8 if i'm not mistaking

here's the feed line

Doesn't appear the lines are the problem. That looks like a -4an fitting, and that's what most turbos recommend.

Well the problem is solved now, I just put a restricter on the feed line and now its ok.
Thanks for youre help guys
