I just had a Greddy turbo kit installed on my RX8 and it's blowing out oil through the blow off valve. I just bought a Weapon R oil Catch Can, I'm hoping that this solves the problem. If this doesn't, what could be wrong?
Thanks!!!!

 

I'm picking it's a second hand kit and the oil seal has gone on the compressor side of the turbo .
Either that or there was residual oil in the interccoler from the previous install ....

 

did you change the oil recently. there could have over filled sucking oil into the intake.

 

Yeah the shop that put my turbo put in 5 quarts instead of the 4! I had to drain a little out! Now, I should just drain the rest out, do a regular oil change, and it should be good? Let's say that it is the turbo, all I'll have to do is get it rebuilt right? Do you know where I can get a rebuild kit for this turbo? Thanks!!!!

Has it got a proper restricter in the oil feed line?

 

/\ good point dan
tojt500 - read the "greddy fixes" thread it's a sticky in this forum .

 

Best to pull out the piping and clean the inside of the pipes to inspect for oil puddles in the IC piping/intercooler.

Check to make sure restrictor pill is in oil feed line ( call and ask the shop, if they don't know what you are talking about they didn't install it.)

Check exhaust if Oil is coming out still it is the turbo, then you have to think about doing a rebuild on the turbo.
