Did you check both side to side and in/out play? Sure sounds like shot turbo seals.

Other things to look out for are clogged or cinched oil return lines. If its a ball bearing turbo, it might have leaky seals but good bearings and no play.

If all else fails, then check for leaky valve seals..though i doubt thats the problem.

Check your Cooler piping for oil.
Check both sides of the turbo for play.


My 50 cents are on blown turboseals.

Ae86 - 135hp
C32 Laurel - 440hp
C32 Laurel - 125hp
