well im looking to see if u guys could help me out with this issue that has been messing with my head. ok here it goes

my friends srt is been jacking up turbos so bad, the first issue was that my friend was driing and all of a sudden the turbo went out, so ok screw it, i put another one in its place and it messed that one up too..so i put another one and same story, so this last time yesterday, we switched the manifold and put another trubo..and i intalled it and watched it idle and everything and it was fine..i took it for a test drive and in less than 10 min the turbo went out and started to have a nasty shaft play, so right now i took the turbo apart, and the shaft bearing looked burned and smelled like ugly burnt oil..

what could be casuing this problem, i was thinking the oil lines are clogged?? also the car had very dirty oil, like it hasnt been changed in a while

so help me out figuiring this thing out please

Sounds like somehow oil isn't making it to the turbo. Now how the oil isn't making it there I don't know, could be a clog somewhere. How's the oil pressure?

Yep, no lube sounds like the problem. Damn who has acess to that many turbos.

Yup no oil is going to the turbo. Mine did the same check all the oil lines and the lil holes

that feed the turbo. Make sure it does not have any burnt oil in the lines and holes.

Dammmm, dat sucks.
Def. a lubrication problem.

x2. Don't just check the line but check the fitting that comes out the back side of the engine. It might be clogged from the engine side

I can't believe no1 has mentioned this....

But, check the oil lines...they might be clogged.

Yeah check the oil lines. You can also take the pressure line off the turbo and remove the coil wire harness and have hime turn it over to see if oil shoots out.
