    Re: awd omni srt-4 smoking when under boost

    I had the same issue on my SRT-4
    I had installed a big wheel stock turbo, car had about
    5000 miles on it
    Sent it back and had it rebuilt, same issue.
    Sent it back a second time and the vendor gave me a different
    turbo, issue solve.
    It was an issue with the seals

    Re: awd omni srt-4 smoking when under boost

    well guys when I took off the turbo I notice the oil return line was not
    tight so I am thinking that the oil was spraying out and getting on the down pipe then burning making it smoke
    so i am going put it back on and see what happens

    Can't tell much from your description but I would go to a shop that specifically builds turbochargers. That and get a price estimate for rebuild and balancing for each. Might find that driving farther saves you money or vice versa.

    What do the plugs look like? A compression test and leak down test will not prove out oil rings, that's where the plugs come into play.
