How often should you clean oil out of the turbo charger on the gs? i was told it needed to be done.

You should have done more research. Since you had a none turbo, most likely the ECM will not let you have optimal fuel mileage. Or may just die going down the road. Who ever told you this? have them come over and hook it up. Most newer cars, you have to swap engine for engine. If it's turbo, you have to get one, if not, you can't have one. Not like older cars where you can add a turbo or super charger then be on your way. Computers have to reprogrammed to accept either.

Turbo manifold, blow off valve, waste gate, intercooler, turbo timer, piggyback or standalone ECU, most likely an all new exhaust system, new intake, filter. An oil cooler may be needed, as those turbo chargers are most likely cooled and lubricated by the oil in the engine, needing to be piped through the turbo itself.

Rings maybe?? Run it till it smokes then remove a couple of glow plugs & inspect the bores to look for evidence of oil. Does it smoke when u first start it too?? Or only once it has warmed up??

check the turbo relief valve for overbost

this could be an alternator noise like the bearings.or it could be a bearing in the super charger.try changing the oil for the super charger and see if it helps especially if it hasn`t been changed.

this case , you have to check turbo charger , when high RPM white smoke means lubricate oil goes to engine so give white smoke . on low rpm trubo close coming black smoke means no enough air gose to engine so this need to replace turbo . some type of turbo can be clean the wase gate ( which open with diafam beside turbo) make sure it's moving when accilerate. check vacum is ok . then clean wase gate > only some type have wings inside )if no replace turbo

Hi, You may have done more damage than your mechanic says. The oil may have been very low to start. Bearings and valve cam needs oil. You have already burned the turbo. (lack of oil).
Good luck.

A new turbo charger is about $340, but you can buy the bearings and seals and rebuilt if yourself for about $100

It is not hard, and it does not take long to do.

I normally do not bother with synthetic, but with a turbo charger, it might be worth it. What really seems to ruin turbo chargers the most is not letting them cool off before parking.
Once you turn off the engine, there is no longer any cooling, so the build up heat will burn up the oil and seals.
Run the engine for at least 5 minutes below turbo levels, before shutting down the engine.

You didn't say turbo or not but put in four and check it with the stick. You did'nt say if your changing the filter. you didn't say if this is a freash build ture empty or just coming in for regular service? Oil and filter 4 1/2 no filter and not ( dumped ) 4 but put in 4 and chack it and follow the stick. the turbo can take 5 and the startup procedure is different. Di ale the spark or fuel system and cranks the motor till the oil light goes out. You spin that turbo dry it'll blow and here we go $1000. It'll do it once if you change the oil with the car hot and get it all done in a few minutes and start it right away. Don't wait, not on a turbo. the other engines are more likly tosurvive but the longer any engine runs pumping air instead of oil is'nt good. Change it quick with it ha\ot and start it back and check for leaks than check level with the stick and add till it shows full .. Never changed your own oil? Get a friend that has to be there with you mistakes can be very expensive. That car $4000. Sure change your own oil and take it to the recycleing center, and know that you did it right. The best oil cost the most and the most expensive ones from all makers are very good and maybe better than you need

do not put on a used one,yes it has precession moving parts and if you did not now that do not try to replace it yourself/why did it fail, are you shore its bad ,most fail because of lack of oil changes or correct type oil ,make shure you fix the complete problem
