ro55ifumi Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sounds like the oil feed to the turbo, this fracture often one way round this is a racetech braided oil feed, thing is when they fracture first you know is the engine knocks and unless you are running guages, oil pressure, temp etc it will have dropped it all before you know it!!!Hope its not too damagedJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
