to fix your fuel cut issue all you need is the one way check valve plummed in like the shape T with the valve venting to atmosphere under boost.it wont work right just hooked in series.
the ones on the ae86 brake booster lines work perfect!!!
as for the smoke it will never stop untill the lines point almost strait down. the turbo relies on gravity to drain and the slightest restriction to drain will cause major smoking issues. we had my buddies going through a 3\8 hole and it was strait up and down. it finally stopped when he went to a 5\8 drain.
i just tapped the oil pan as high as i could and it worked fine.
all in all $200 bucks thats a steal!!! what fe motor is that? 4a\7a?

4a engine.
yes it does have smoke and its hitting fuel cut and making me laugh. I think its a cool project showing what you can do with 200 hahaha. I really hope he gets a FMI or even a top mount, with proper piping and MS ASAP

MS is first
and its no a 4e, its a 5efe... ahem, 5EFTE BAM!
picked up a home depot hose barb with stolen female connector plus a 9$ 1" hole saw
and since I do everything on the fly, measure once cut twice, I accidentally cut into the splash thing, no biggie, I just smashed it down with a sledge hammer :lol
My original idea was to get a brass hose fitting and solder it to the pan so its absolutely leak proof, but after I got home I had noticed the fittings were VERY light... so I scratched it with my knife and found out the cheap asses are anodized yellow aluminum. So that idea went right out the window.
FYI: its impossible to solder aluminum without a small bottle of 50$ flux and pricey solder.

Finally got around to adding oil and patching everything back together.

Glad to hear you have that oil guzzler demon under control. You need a EMS and tuning asap, maybe you will be lucky and your engine will hold until then
Maybe you can use a oem turbo fuel pump from a supra? I know you need injectors too.

no injectors needed, I can make about 10psi on maxed out injectors.'
plus B-boi ran his stock like this for nearly 8k miles, then his plastic feed line broke, dumped all his oil, and fryed the engine. womp womp

in about to muffle this noise monster... pulled the down pipe and figured id snap a pic of the turbine for comparison... USDM penny used as a ref.

also, if you thought that was a small turbo... here is one I spotted on a tractor I was repairing.. a garrett something.. the compressor was no bigger than my hand.

i've seen a smaller one on a small diesel generator.it was a garrett with a .24 compressor housing.tiny turbo's get my mind going.

With all due respect, you guys haven't the slightest clue about a monster turbo 3E/4E/5E combo!
The true oldschoolers around here know what I'm talking about
