Ok well today i was driving to get tires and all of a sudden i heard a clunk and i was like damn...looked at the turbo and oil was coming out of the return line...so i drove the car to discount(1 mile away...)on the way bout half mile left and the oil pressure was skirting on 0 and i was freaking pulled into discount and heard ticking....so oil level was low and i am lookin for a little guidence...if it is just rockers or would it be a good possibility of a bearing...if u need more info to help just ask

I agree with Eurospec2, but it's kind of too late now.
I would fix the oil leak and fill it with oil, then listen.
Best of luck.

dude you need to stop ASAP when something like that happens

i've hit something in the road and lost oil presure due to a cracked brass fitting off the turbo, check all of your lines and change the oil left. Fire it up and hope for the best. If all sounds good i would change it shortly after that just incase.

I know to stop if i was leaking but, there was no place to pull over, which sucked and this may be a hidden blessing, if i have spun a bearing or something i have the money to order new internals which i will be doing this winter if i dont do it now so...idk...does anyone know of a way to tuck up the turbo in the rear?

You might ask Bob at EPP. IIRC, he did this for an LS1 installation.

Problem sloved with the return line, fixed it in the parking lot, and everything runs perfect, did an oil change and its never been better...But i would still like info on tucking the Turbo...

Sometimes you have to loosen the bolts on the housing and turn it so it tucks up higher. Just make sure the oil supply and oil return are at noon and 6 so they work properly. Sometimes it takes some moving and adjusting, but it's worth it.

stainless steel is MUCH better... brass fittings... no.. i learned my lesson on that one
