    Sorry to see you selling the truck! Someone will get a very nice setup. Wish i had the cash myself..

    Noticed you are running 650cc injectors.. They the one's from five-o-motorsports by chance?

    https://www.fiveomotorsport.com/toyota-2trfe-2grfe-modified-engines/

    Curious if these plugged right in and if they fit with your performance 2TR fuel rail..

    What type of hose are you guys using with water cooled turbos? Is silicone vacuum hose safe to use?

    Edit: Looks like reinforced silicone is the way to go.

    I just used 5/16" coolant line from Napa.

    Braided AN lines would be choice, just cost more with all the little fittings to buy.

    After pulling things apart, my conclusion is that the pcv/ccv lines froze, which in turn blocked the oil returning to the pan and pushed copious amounts of oil through the turbo. The reason the lines froze is because I haven't emptied the catch can in months due to the valve handle disappearing. Lesson learned.

    I'm not too fond of the smell of the crank so I have mine recirculated before the turbo.
