Stixbnr32 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I thought I had a boost leak with the sound I could hear for along time but couldn't find it. Lately I have noticed my - 5s have had some smoke when coming to a stop. I don't think it's my valve stem seals as this was all done in my built motor. Turbos have done about 40,000kms at 500hp and now pushing 600 since tune 2 months ago. Do you think I'm on the right track?

GTSBoy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well, if they're noisy, it will be more than just the seals. The thrusts have probably taken a lot of wear. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/479464-turbo-seals-on-the-way-out/#findComment-7922007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMnDadGTR Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 my stock turbos would smoke after a good pull and I came to a stop, smoke would go away soon. I took the turbos off and could not find anything wrong. replaced with -7's smoke has never returned. I think my seals and bearings were on way out. hope this helps.

Stixbnr32 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yeah my -5's have done a good 40,000km. Think I will have to take them off in winter get them rebuilt.
