Couple things I did that worked for me. One was I made the return line as big as I could get it (got everything from home-depot). 2nd thing was I put a restricter in the oil feed line. After all that I had no smoke.

*edit*
The return line I made was 3 inch hardline coming off the turbo then it turned into a rubber hose that went into the oil pan. I think I have pic's of floating on here somewhere.

check your drain setup..make sure its downhill.

Put your crankcase under a vacuum..itll help.

you may need to put a restictor on the oil feed...what kinda turbo is it?



i ran a tilton diff pump and it worked fine..just have to make sure everything is plumbed correctly.

The turbo is a T76, and I have the return doing a U shape thing under the turbo, I think I might need a pump? Just need to know what kind of pump????? I need the brand and the cheapest place to get it from...
thanks

What about these tilton oil cooler pumps can they be used as well? I like the idea of cooling my oil while I am at it.

i ran one. As long as theyre setup up right theyre fine. Im actually selling the one i ran because im switcing to gravity drain after i moved my turbo up high.

I have a Phamspeed turbo kit in my car with 0 oil problems. I didnt put a restrictor on the feed adn i just used a piece of rubber hose to go from teh straight down facing tube under the turbo to the oil pan. I drilled and tapped a hole in the front of the oil pan so that i coudl get the closest i could. It worked like a charm. I also have a t76gts so we should be in the same exact boat.
Now that i am doin alot of work to the car i changed how it is run. The turbo has a piece of billit aluminum bolted to the bottom of it with threading for a 10an line. So i jsut got a 10an male 90* earls fitting with a 8an braided hose on the other side to go to the pan. That will get the most angle to the pan as i can. GL man.
