Hi Guys,
A friend of mine here in Lakeland just bought an '87 GN. He wasn't getting more
then 12-14psi, and then all of a sudden it
shot up to 17psi. But... Oil started
shooting out the both breathers, the PCV,
and even out of the uppipe (no gasket). We pulled the turbo and the compressor blades
hardly spun. There was ZERO oil on the air intake side. The IC was dry, and TB was clean.
Would a seized turbo cause enough presure to blow oil out the breathers?
Also, the turbo looks stock, but the blades had a "BAL 40" stamped on em. Is this stock?
I have a PTE44 so I couldn't tell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
