I will run through that checklist you posted, thanks. I seem to remember blue smoke under boost. But it may be from old oil still burning off the downpipe? Maybe it still has a cat, and it's filled...

noon rebuild question

This d24t is definitely burning oil, and will hang around 4-5k rpm unless you chunk it into 4th with the brakes on. There was lots of oil pooling under injector 6 and some under 5. Does anyone know a...

So I just installed the new turbo, and at first it seemed to run great. It started easier than ever, and didn't seem to be burning any oil.
