I'm not sure if this matters but on the top were the oil feed is. sometimes oil builds up there, I even have a restrictor fitting to prevent oil overload in the turbo just as the instrctions told me to install. If some oil builds up there, then it's probably alil clogged right? When i have more day light i have to check it out more.
It could be that the oil filter on the top of the bearing housing is clogged or it could be an issue with excessive pressure inside the oil passages themselves. Without having hands on the turbo its a little tough to troubleshoot.
