Oops, i meant symmptoms of a bad turbo.

Anway, yeah i got oil in my throttle body, no oil catch can, and the previous owner had blew the Avenir motor and drilled & tapped a RR SR20.

i may decide to buy the turbo rebuild kit or just send it out to have the seals replaced.

You need the catch can that is most likely your problem

i am in the same boat as you last night started smoking, today figured out it was crankcase pressure so im sure it is the rings or ringlands, thing is my car wasnt detonating, was running 10:9afr's the whole time, but i have noticed lately that the car seemed like it had a low battery, so it was cranking slow so i guess it was just the motor gettting weak, i have oil on plug number 3 as well

So your compression is good and it's not knocking unless I am missing something here. I think I would check around for other issues before buying a new motor. What are you thinking went bad that would explain this?

hahah everyone is missing the compression...

It's #1 140 #2 140 #3 40 #4 140

Number 3 has 40.. not 140 haha
