dnodog Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 my turbo is leaking oil... not too severe but just enough to be PITA. It has done it for a while, and the truck runs ok. Has anyone installed a turbo that could adjust from a controler on the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 You mean a manual boost controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 have you looked at the turbo to see if you can see the oil leak? if i had to have a guess i would say check the oil line feeding oil to the turbo first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus_68 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 when you say it is leaking oil do you mean you are getting oil into your intake manifold? this is normal it is called "blow-by" and the td27t runs a lot of blow by. There is a hose that runs from the PCV valve to the main air intake, after the air filter. You could consider using a oil catch can here. VERY IMPORTANT: if you do use a catch can MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE INTERNAL HOSE DIAMETER AND ALL FITTINGS THE SAME AS FROM FACTORY. If you do not do this you will have much tooo high pressure and you will pop your engine. I was luck my dipstick shot into my bonnet before my engine went bang!

exodus_68 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 sorry, i speak english not uh-merican. dnodog, yes i have installed a boost controller. it is pretty simple...but you don't want to wind up the boost too far without adjusting fuel. also because the td27t runs a pre-combustion chamber you don't want to go crazy with boost. what info were you looking for regarding a boost controller?
