JJ,
Hope all's well!
The GARRETT turbocharger oil seals are a piston ring type and have a fixed gap upon installation. Just like the engine piston ring, the turbocharger oil seals will increase in gap size as wear/time is a factor. As this gap increases, additional oil bypassing will be more evident and smoke in tje exhaust is a typial symptom.
If the turbocharger problems are caught early, the assembly can be repaired easily by the user for under $100. We offer a kit which includes all oil seal replacements, bearings, thrust assemblies, etc. and makes for a simple refresh of the GARRETT T3 turbochargers. For problem bypassing, we also offer a 360 degree oil seal that will overlap in service and eliminates the standard gapped seal.
An upgrade is another possiblility but we find that the T3 SAAB turbochargers are quite capable of supporting engine applications to 200-220 horsepower with supporting engine modifications such as APC, fueling, exhaust, intake, etc.
Best of luck and regards!
