Incon twin kit question!!
Well i have An incon twin turbo kit on my car and I recently rebuild the turbos like 4months ago.The other day it started smoking and I look underneath and I see oil dripping down of my passenger side turbo.The driver side is fine but for some reason this passenger side turbo is giving me hell.I have oil dripping out of the blowoff valve on that side.Could the seals have gone bad already?Or what could my problem be? If anyone can help me out I gladly appreciate it.

Talk with whomever rebuilt the turbo. They more than likely have some kind of warranty for their work (30-day, 60-day). I'd start there first. If they tell you to shove off, then get back to us. It's not normal for turbo seals to go out like that after a fresh rebuild, unless they didn't assemble it correctly. Also, make sure your oil feed and return lines are all tight and its not leaking from them.

+2 on the drain problem. I have done 7 incon kits and have replaced more tilton pumps then I want to think about. I replaced them with a wedon and added "check valves" and the cars never had problems.

Wipe off the surfaces and get them clean the best you can. Then get the car on some ramps, start it up, and see if you can find where its coming from. If your turbo is leaking from one of the seals, you should see it as soon as you get oil pressure. Make sure its not coming from somewhere else. It could be leaking from someone else, and gravity is just doing its job (causing it to run down the lowest point of the turbo and pipes).

Then it has to be the seal. I'd take it back to whomever rebuilt the turbo. They obviously didn't tighten the bolts to spec or didn't clean the flange surface during the rebuild.

I'd personally take it back to the shop that rebuilt them. If you mess anything up, than that is all on you. Have the shop fix their screw up. Just my .02

Not sure!I had a guy tell me that My drain line is out of place and that I should rotate both the exhaust housing and compressor housing so the centersecion(with bearings and oil drain) is pointed straight down
