... about the oil line. If clogging were a common problem, turbo failure would be as common as the pre-water-cooled and pre-synthetic-oil days. Roscoe's point was that if you try to clean the line, you just loosen up the carbon and crud, and you can't get it all out no matter what you do, and what's left goes into the bearing of the new turbo. I find it hard to believe, myself ... brake parts cleaner is a pretty darn good solvent, for one thing. For another thing, I wouldn't think there would be any significant heat in the line (except maybe where it attaches to the turbo), so I wouldn't expect any carbon or coking. Well, we'll see ... I'll put a new line on it, but there will definitely be a lot of post-mortem. I'll let you know what I find.
