Leak after rebuild

[HaywardRotary]

That\'s open too debate. Hence they don\'t last without one

Hey Keith, I have two t88\'s out there that have done loads of miles and been running for over 5 years running bridge ports and making some decent power that aren\'t running restrictors, they are a plain bearing turbo.
Its only ball bearing turbos that need restrictors.
There is something else wrong in this case. it could even be a poor draining issue.

Ok so i can saflely say the oil seals have gone? Looked at rebuild kits, are they east?

I would have a thorough investigate first.

I don\'t dispute that Carl, and like you say oil return can cause the issue.  Garret themselves say that it\'s not generally needed, but may be needed depending on oil pressure. .  As rotary engines have 100psi plus oil pressure they can blow oil past without a restrictor.  Like I said open to debate.

what size is the oil return line on the turbo?

its the same diameter as the return feed, no down sizing etc, have rebuilt the turbo and its still weeing out, not quite sure where to go from here

mite be worth sending it off, does anyone have any recommendations on company\'s?

CRturbo engineering....brilliant company, rebuilt and balanced my t78 perfectly.

May sound silly but have you made sure your breather pipes are not blocked (the ones off your oil filler neck ?
