Does this mean it's time for a rebuild
I'm just in the first test driving stages of my new turbo install and I have a oil leak. I took some pictures of what I think is the leak but I need advice. I have a few other minor leaks but this one has got me concerned. The oil on the turbo produces an awful lot of smoke. Rebuild? I've also got an exhaust manifold leak that i'm trying to deal with. Man this things takin a while..

your injectors should be good for about 190rwhp at 100-110psi or so of fuel. So 7-8-9psi is nearing the limits, depending on your setup. I was personally seeing fairly good results around 7-8psi, 9-10psi wasn't good.
