Lol I think he is saying the way you typed that out is hard to read/understand.

I am glad you have started figuring out what is wrong. Are you sure your O2 is bad did you do the unplugging test?

And what is wrong with your T25? It will leak oil (a lot of smoke when you get on the gas pedal) or there will be boost spikes if it is going bad not a whine. A whine sounds more like your alternator or power steering pump

The turbo does leak oil and it boost spikes...and the O2 i just wanted to change it because i don't know how old/new it is...

you can test it by just unplugging it and seeing if the car runs the same, if it runs the same it is bad but if the car runs worse it is good. simple as that

and yeah your turbo sounds bad you sound right about that

ok two things..Where can i get shielding for my O2 wires for the heat? And the owner before me but a oil pressure gauge in and he put like a 3ft braided line for the oil pressure sensor which in imo is way to long for no reason..so where to fine a much smaller line(5in)..i dont want to hook it up directly to the motor because the vibration would mess up the sensor. thanks for the help
