because the compressor side is so big. Hence the seals for the shaft don't seal properly because the shaft needs to be spinning. I don't know if I completely buy that scenario.
I was told after I rebuilt the turbo to use Mobil-1 because even though it may burn it wouldn't coke and break down the seals. However now that I've been driving it for 6 months the turbo is really smoking now. Even when I'm driving along at a moderate pace, especially if I'm decel-ing to a stop.
