Message if turbo's were replaced already. When I bought my Z's boost was fine, no smoke or oil leaks everything seemed perfect. But at 140k miles I knew the turbo's were probably close to going out if stock. I had a lifter tick and my pressure gauge was acting flaky so I wanted to flush out the engine to clean the sensor and hopefully get rid of the tick. The rest is history.

Looking back I think it was a good thing. Got a clean engine now and upgraded turbos. But the possiblity is still there for it to happen to someone else. If I didn't have the money sitting there for the turbo upgrade it would be a different story.

As for fiction, none there. I put it in, ran for 5 mins, changed oil and as soon as boost hit in I was spraying oil and water out the back of my car. It was so thick it was dripping off my bumper. Nothing else changed and it was running perfect before, no saftey boost, no lack of boost, no loss of oil. Draw you conclusions from there, was pretty straight forward to me. Not like I'm blaming a UD pulley for it or anything...
