Hi all just replaced my turbos with my mates off his Soarer with Around 100,000ks day after i got it back from the mechanic it felt very strange. It is overboosting as if there was no boost controller, i have a manual turbosmart one so i turned it all the way to negative.. Still overboosting and hitting boost cut, also i have a weird whistling noise on boost sounds like a supercharger and an oil leak from the turbo side which is dripping on the dumppipe causing smoke. Someone help me out..

Check you have not bent the oil lines Jack, other wise she will go in no time. Try and find where the leak is coming from. The boost spike may be a split actuator line or the wastegate may be stuck open?
Check the both actuator lines, mine came off once in my previous car and the boost spiked to near 30psi. It went well but man did is scare the crap out of me lol

Yeah mate no worries, its back in the mechanics today and they said a bolt got sheared on one of the oil feeds or returns, and ill get them to check the actuators and lines.. Do you know what would cause the wastegate to stick open?
