5 minutes or a timer FTW.

I think I got yelled at before but I thought most people had a timer.

**Frenchy** · 03-05-2009 06:02 PM

a timer wouldn't be a bad idea at all

Well Justin with Comp Turbo just called me and the turbo is rebuilt and will be sent out tomorrow and will be at my work on Monday.

He said he's virtually positive that the turbo failed because it wasn't getting oil. The fitting on the turbo was totally plugged with "debris". He said there was some metal shavings in there which worries me. Always something...

Anyway, I guess that's something I'll be checking periodically.

Good call moze. Are you running synthetic oil? What happened with your turbo is why i got the viper alarm it has a built in timer. I want to put an oil temp gauge and tap it into the turbo drain and see how hot the oil is coming off the turbo.

Oh no. I would have to say you should look further into that. Maybe pull the pan?

I think (Virgil suggested) it may be shavings from when I drilled the oil pan for the return.

Man I hope so.

Last time I saw this, a minivan went out of commission.

**RedHeartbeat** · 03-05-2009 08:01 PM

You think your oil filter failed?

**DBRODS** · 03-05-2009 08:23 PM
