Blown oil seal on turbo

psduser1 · Feb 22, 2015

Yessir. Turned the doghouse around, hosed it uphill then back down to the top of a sealed container. Back out about halfway down the container, hosed to the stock location on the inlet tube.
I can get pics, but it'll be friday, working dark to dark right now.
I drain my container every oil change as Arisley said.

Exactly how I did it. Made real sure not to let the hose make a drip loop. All is well.

That's what I did, still need to paint the bracket.

This is how I did it at the motor

quite positive.. it went out the doghouse and down to catch can then back up... got rid of the catch can and vented to atmo and did the same thing. so i out it back to stock.. my brother wanted his routed to atmo (i advised against it) and i did it for him droping it strait down to the ground.. 6weeks later popped the turbo.. got a used turbo from airfish and a billet wheel from barder and put the ccv back to the intake.

Did you make sure the hose went uphill right after the doghouse before it went to atmo? It's weird the turbo went out that fast. I put 15k on my E99 with it vented to atmo. And the PO put 5k.

Could that have been an issue? Sucks to hear about your brothers turbo. Could also have been coinsidence. I installed a dp tuner in my cousins excursion. 100 miles later, the top of the trans case had a 1ft crack... trans was a rebuild and someone probably used a case from a wrecked truck...

Finally got time to work on my truck. Rebuilt the turbo (again), and buttoned that up, then pulled the CCV hose. In the hose between my doghouse and the end there was about 1/4-1/3 cup of milky/watery oil residue. Drained that crap out into a cup and sure enough it froze when I left it outside over night. I'm positive that was the cause.

Anyway, CCV rerouted straight down for now, this summer I'll add a catch can and route it back to the stock location.
