hmmm well the word on the street is those turbo kits suck big time. If the car hasnt seen boost and its acting up im thinking this is definetly something due to the FMU. If it were me i would get a different fuel management setup, if u really think its a blown head gasket have a look see. Taking the head off isnt too hard.

No offense but, just cause you have a 12 second car doesnt mean you arent dumb.

Have you ever talked to a mustang owner?

Although I agree with you that a 12 second car doesn't make anyone any smarter, I don't want to see this thread get into a pissing match. So let's get this back on track.

Hey, me and a couple friends just got done installing my turbo kit. We fired it up and coming out of the exhaust was a milky oily substance, (oil and gas right?) I was just wondering what may be causing this.
A milky oily substance is oil & water. If you are seeing it in the exhaust then i would suspect the turbo is leaking it into the exhaust path and since there is moisture(water) that comes out of there it is mixing with the oil and making the milky substacnce. Check that first since XSPOWER is the same as SSAUTOCHROME and if you do a search on here or anywhere online you will find that they don't have the greatest reputation when it comes to quality.


Mustang owners,... you kill me,... lol

Do you and your friends know what you are doing? What kinda of fuel management are you running? What kind of oil lines do you have? What kind of turbo........brand and trim.........custom kit or what> Pretty bland for the problem
that is an insult, and yes, if I, myself put the car into the low 12s, with all my own work and tuning, especially with me just turning only 19 and paying for everything myself, car payment, insurance, gas, parts etc. anyways, we figured it out, and whoever mentioned the oil lines was partially right. heres what happened, when i put the turbo on the manifold, one oil "port" was on the very top, and one was on the very bottom, the problem was that the feed was actually on the bottom and the return was on the top, me expecting at least the compressor housing to be rotated the correct way, i put the oil lines on, so, it was forcing in a bunch of oil, and the tiny hole where the oil was supposed to feed in could not keep up with it and caused the oil to leak through the seals of the turbo, so, i dismantled the entire manifold assembly and turbo, flipped the compressor 180 degrees so the oil "ports" were on the correct side and its all good now, i took offense because i hate it when the first thing people say is, do you even know what youre doing?, so anyways, its all good now and thanks for the help, heres one more person saying" dont buy the ss autochrome turbo kit"

I have the greddy kit on my civic but i bought the XS kit from a buddy and he bought it of ebay. it was a complete kit injectors, ntercooler, piping waste gate....ect. i dont plan on putting the XS on the car but, i didnt know they sucked. I mainly bought the kit cause of the waste gate and ntercooler. who would have thunk it huh. Anyway glad you got boosted and hope it works out.
