I installed a tsi kit on my car about a month ago and now the thing burns oil and smokes like none other. Anybody have this prob or any ideas on what is wrong? Any help would be great. Thanks

what does the turbo or the car? must have a leak somewhere, it shouldnt be burning oil just due to being turbo

Either faulty turbocharger or damaged pistons/rings.

Check compression, it it's ok, then it turbo itself.

Hope it is turbo, becuase you should have one year warranty still.

I did not install the oil pressure reducer. Could that be the problem? I read about it in the instuctions after we were pretty much done with the install. The compression is good and the plugs are the brown chocolat color they are suppose to be. I thought that I forgot the reducer maybe it has to high of oil pressure and it blew out the seals in the turbo.

i did the same thing, i ran my t3 without a restrictor for a year, and when i finally decided to install it, it was too late. i blew the seals on it and smokes a bit but it's not making it into my intake, so i dont really care. it's an older turbo and i was planning on replacing it this year anyways.

thats what i used, im using the golden eagle oil filter sandwich adapter to feed my turbo. i have that in between the sandwich and the 1/8" npt to -3an line adapter. if you dont have any NPT fittings in your line set, you might be able to find something similar in AN threads.

Keep in mind this isn't always necessary, it depends on the size of your feed line. I'm running a -3 line and have no restrictor, haven't since I've had the turbo....
