    Best videos I've seen on Turbos. Spot on presentation. It would be nice if this was required viewing for all Turbo car owners so they'll know the importance of changing there oil regularly.

    Very well explained. It is very helpful to explain "cause and effect" with actual failed parts. Please continue to provide these videos.

    Sometime on the Ford turbos the drain hole is too small and it "cokes." Drill it out with a 3/8 drill. Happens on the Ford trucks.

    I just bought a car with a turbo, I’m the second owner, I had a feeling something was wrong with it because I kept smelling faint smell of burning oil but it did need an oil change so my bf convinced me there was nothing wrong! Right away I got the oil change! As I continued to drive it over time I kept smelling it worse and my car was sluggish! I took in the other day and they noticed there was leaking oil but wasn’t sure where, also I had no oil in my car they said! So they filled it up and drove it to make sure she was still ok! But they did an inspection and they said she was and referred me to go back to the dealer or to someone that specializes in turbo because my leak was somewhere in the turbo. I have an appt on July 11 at the dealership for an inspection but I checked my oil today and it’s black. I called the original place I got my car inspected and told them and they said it’s normal for turbo oil to turn black right away, but I’m weary and don’t want to do any further damage to my vehicle untill I get the inspection at the dealership! Please help with advice! Someone else suggested I get a flush and oil change y till the inspection even though I still have the leak because he said it’s not supposed to be that dark but he’s not a mechanic and don’t know anything about turbo🤷‍♀️ so I need advice from some one that does know! Please help me I’m tryn to save my car! I’m not rich🙏😔

    B8 A4 only leaks oil when I drive on the freeway/at freeway speeds. I also have multiple misfires and a turbo reading under boost. That said, no smokey exhaust, no loss in power, the car sounds great. I'm working on buying a daily driver before I start throwing thousands into repairs. Anywhere you'd suggest I look first?

      In the past 2 months I bought a daily driver. The Audi is sitting, leaking oil regularly now. It's my opinion it could be the rear main seal.

    Turbos, like transmissions, should have their own separate lubrication system.
    Being lubricated with worn-out, contaminated (with gas and carbon) engine oil is insane.

    I had a hydro lock in my 2013 wrx. Would that damage the turbo? I removed it and it is clean and moving smoothly. But after rebuilding the engine I installed it and the engine runs rough and the turbo is smoking.
