Finally got the turbo and intercooler on. I plumbed from turbo to
intercooler and intercooler to turbo using ABS. I initially gluead the pieces together
using a glue I thought would work. At the end of a ten minute test drive,
phooff, a fitting came undone. Hey, where did all my power go?? I noticed when
I remade the tubes using the proper glue that the inside of the one from turbo
to intercooler was quite wet with oil. The van also seems to lay down a bit
of whitish smoke. I'm thinking that the seal(s) in the turbo could be bad.
Could someone who has changed the inner turbo oil seals run through the
procedure. Are there any major pitfalls? Where can I get the seals? TIA
