Bmw 335i e90 hybrid turbo seal leak

iansexotics · 04-22-2021, 01:51 PM

Hello so I have aftermarket turbos and they are leaking oil from what looks like the seal between the exhaust and compressor housing is a rebuild kit a good choice or just getting new ones?

ragingpanda · 04-22-2021, 02:59 PM

The warranty expired on them already?

iansexotics · 04-22-2021, 03:33 PM

No warranty only lasted 12 months and I got those well over a year ago

Did you call up Rob? The failure rate on those RB turbos is extremely small. I would call Rob and see what he says. If anything, he should be able to take a look and tell you why they failed.

What model of RB turbo is it? And what kind of boost are you pushing? He lists "efficient" boost ranges to stay in with all of his turbos.

More info please......

They are rb tdo4/ high flow style and 6psi 1st, 12 2nd, and 30 psi 3rd they recently started fluttering constantly when letting off don't know if that's normal

iqraceworks · 04-29-2021, 10:35 AM

Sounds like you were pushing them pretty hard......I don't think RB recommends hitting 30psi with any of their turbos, but I could be wrong. You must making some big power!! What fueling upgrades are you running? Who did your tune?

Have you contacted RB?

iansexotics · 04-29-2021, 10:38 AM

I'm sorry I meant 20😂 fat fingered 30 and lpfp upgrade with stock hpfp and index 9 injectors

iqraceworks · 04-29-2021, 10:56 AM

.....have you contacted RB?? If not, why not?

iansexotics · 04-29-2021, 11:00 AM

No and because I was doing schoolwork and didn't get around to it I'll do it later today and see what they say

iansexotics · 04-30-2021, 09:43 AM

I called and they said try replacing oil feed line gasket and oring

So it's not burning oil, it's coming from the oil feed line??

I'm thinking about ordering a set of RB turbos soon. I was talking to Rob this morning about which way to go as far as turbo selection, and mid conversation I asked him about the issue you were having with your turbos.

Rob said he never got a call from anyone, and didn't know what I was talking about. Are you sure you called RB?

Something is does not seem right here.

Pull the turbos, you will see the issue and be able to fix it then.

iansexotics · 04-30-2021, 06:28 PM

I called someone guess it wasn't the right person I pulled the turbo today and found a break in the o ring of the feed line

You don't even know who you called?? You just called a random number?

Are you even sure about what turbos you have??
