oops...
I put the 18g on today man.

but I can easily take it off.
how does one fix oil pressure on a turbo car without the turbo?

I agree I need to fix my pressure.
would draw through/blow through make a difference?
to be honest idk which I have.

Use black rtv on the fittings if it's not a compression fitting. I agree with everyone else, if this thing is eating turbos like that you've got oil pressure problems, no if's, ands, or butts about it. Are the seals blowing or are you just eating center housings, and shafts?

i agree too! its def got to be a oil pressure problem
and i am eating up the center and wheels of the turbo.
idk if i have blown a seal out but when i take the turbo off its dry around the compersser housings.

what size line are you using? Keep in mind that you have all the metal from those turbos in the motor. When a chra gets toasted all that metal takes a trip directly to your oil pan where it's picked up and distributed throughout the motor. Those stainless lines can get clogged up and prevent flow. Have you changed oil filters since the turbo problems?

the line idk the size of it to be true full with you i had it laying around the house.
and
no change in oil filters, just oil after each blown turbo.
I put cheap syn 10w30 in it for a couple cranks.
then I take it right back out and look for shaving but never seen any.
did it twice this time before install and still have 10w30 in the car.
i need to go to a new weight in oil but idk what to go to.

it is I agree

but almost, I think.
i need to seal up some threads on the oil line.
just dont know what to use.

Black rtv but the rtv stands for? lol

and then check my gauges after start up.
I am just confused on what they should read.

and my afr gauge. idk what it should really be during idle, driving easly, driving hard.
