Can a turbo that is on its final days, burn oil?

 

definetly!!!!

 

So do the problems I described in the other thread, "HELP! Burning oil & rough idle at start" seem likely to be fixed if I were to have the turbo rebuilt?

 

yea the seals in the turbo are prolly blown causing oil to get in the exhaust and burning oil. my friend blew his turbo on his turbo civic hatch when his oil return line pinched and clogged up the turbo blew all the seals and started burning oil out the exhaust. yea that could definately be the problem. good luck

 

your turbo is fcked. end of story.

And about that turbo civic, i can explain that, god said "no"

 

now i know we all feel the same about civics because of what we've seen done to them but turbo is not RICE. give him some credit for doing a real man's mod.

 

he did do a real man's mod, and i give him credit for it, but he fcked up the install, so he only gets half credit lol.

 

well his car is all fixed now and he's learned from his mistakes and the car is back and badder....that little civic has ***** and you have to give him credit he does all the work himself...swapped in his ls motor himself and turboed it himself with a little help from some friends. and his car is definately not ricey its a sleeper if ive ever seen one here check out some pics of his car with some other pics of my car and the rest of the crew.
