burning oil =(

[robert112]

Hey all,

I recently bought a 95 r33 GTS-T and got my grandfather (mechanic but knows nothing about turbo's) to change my oil and oil filter. I saw him pour just over 4 litres in and thought 'isn' t that too much?' the oil checker showed full.

Then I installed a second hand bleed valve and just guessed the correct measurement, gave it flat stick and noticed that the needle had moved up to the line inbetween 0 to 7 mmhg. This line equates to roughly 11 psi if i'm not mistaken seeing as 7mmhg is equivilant to like 14.7 or 14.9 psi? 1 bar! Anway, Thrilled with the massive power increase I took it up to 4th gear twice. Then I took the bleedvalve off to try and feel the power difference. To my HORROR and shock I noticed a huge cloud of smoke blowing out of my exhaust. Now I'm burning up oil and the smoke is still there. (although the smoke isn't as bad as when it first happened). I thought the problem went away because it was still spooling fine on stock boost and couldn't really see the smoke anymore but that night I went to the runs, and noticed my oil went from full to low. It's burning oil and I assume I've blown a turbo seal. Okay now here's the question:

1) Does anyone know a good mechanic?

2) What do I do?

3) How much do you think it will cost assuming turbo needs replacing?
