you sure it wasn't a turbo leaking before taking the motor apart?

I had a turbo leaking however, it was on the exhaust side. So not ingesting oil. That was replaced by the PTE's This car has smoked from day 1. Was using up to 1/2 qt oil every fill up. I finally had enough.

The combustion chambers look awful dirty. I bet you had some bad valve guides/seals.

if a turbo is leaking on the exhaust side, its burning the oil and smoking.....

Any leakdown test results??

Tiago, tho old turbos were leaking. The new ones are not yet the motor is still smoking and consuming oil worse.

Leak down on yielded 10% on #7 and 15% on #2. In my experience that has not been enough on its own to yank a motor. With the massive oil consumption and smoking is why I am pulling it.

I'm assuming you have a good scavenge pump for your turbo's drain system and restrictors in oil supply?

Considering the resolution of the pictures on my monitor, I don't see anything of concern on that bank. Did you do a leak down test first?

did a leak down That bank was good. I added new pics o the drivers side up top. Looks like all of them are oil soaked.

I am using a gravity system on the turbos with -10 returns and restrictors are built in to the 62-65s. Ive checked the returns and had no blockage

Anyone suggest some good rings for a 3.905 bore

Were any of your spark plugs getting fouled from the oil? and what kind of twinturbo kit do you have?

my turbo ls1 uses half a quart to a tank of gas as well. but my motor is very tired and has well over 100k on it. it also only smokes on decel. i hope you find whats wrong with it.

plugs 5,7,2 showed oil spots on them.

The turbo kit is custom built, similar to the HP kit

I should have it at the new builder by this Friday.
