    turbo oil pressure

    ive got a bit of a problem with a newly recond turbo on an f7p.on start up it runs fine but after about 30 seconds it fills the place with smoke.oil pressure in the car is around 4 bar.could i have to much oil pressure for the turbo? the dump pipe is going into the bottom of the block at the back of the starter.

    If the turbo is new, that shouldn't be the problem. I had a similar problem when my turbo return pipe was getting blocked up.

    would the sump internal slash guards cause a restriction ?

    as above, ensure the drain is free flowing and make sure you've not overfilled the engine with oil.

    I've disconnected the drain and started the engine,there is oil flowing from the drain but I thought it would have been more than what there is.what sort of flow should the return have say per minute?

    Depends if you have an oil restrictor for the turbo, but generally it doesn't flow that much, just a steady stream.

    The factor sump plastics shouldn't affect it, where is your return located? Any pictures?

    return is in the same place as yours.
