After rebuilding the turbo on our Auction Porsche Cayman, we were still having a few running issues. So we put together a DIY Repair Solution to see if it will fix this Turbo Kits major flaw…

Kw shocks and springs!

I like Sam. I really do. But I miss the old days when Sam’s videos weren’t all infomercials.

Plus, it’s Porsch+E

12:00 "…just the flashing ['Check Engine' light]…" Flashing 'Check Engine' often means to IMMEDIATELY pull over and shut off the engine, so it's hardly "just".

Are there deer on your property? I swear I saw one behind you at about 15:45.

Repent Now says:

Sam – Look at a switched ground for your oil pump via an oil pressure sensor that grounds your relay at 1 psi – this is how the STS (Squires Turbo Systems) kits work – this will extend the life of your pump (ask me how I know!) as it will not run when there is no oil to move.

WhiteG60 says:

So I'm not sure about the Porsches, but the VW's and Audi's run too high of oil pressure for a normal journal bearing turbo. We would always need to run an oil restrictor on them in order to have the turbos last more than a few hundred miles, and that was with brand name Garrett or Precision turbochargers. The cheaper eBay turbos are almost certainly not better than the name brands in terms of tolerances and manufacturing processes.

and as soon as I saw it was turbo and smoking I thought oil not going back into the engine!!! needs a pump!!!

s snerd says:

buy somegbodys cast off stock suspension who put coil over suspension on, for cheap….gotta be somebody out there who wants to sell stock suspension for cheap…..then look for somebody taking blown out coil overs out and selling for cheap and re-build them and BAM!!!

midgetrace says:

Your instructions said it was a geared pump. It should not be run dry for very long, hence the reservoir, which you have horizontal it should be vertical to keep air out of the system for as long as possible. I would think a vane pump would last longer .

Gabriel B says:

Bring back the old outro music!

Beardoe says:

I worry about your scavenge pump install.

First, does the pump have a check valve?

Im not sure what the point of that reservoir is but the pump should be at the lowest point, then I would run the outlet line up above the oil level and then drain it in to the engine also above the oil level so it can't create a siphon (sucking oil out of the oil pan and down to the lowest point: the scavenge pump).

It looks like your oil drain is plumbed in to the bottom of the oil pan which makes me think the oil seals of the turbo always have oil behind them which could cause seepage when the motor is not running and a turbo full of oil when it starts up. The seals probably don't leak more than the engine can burn off while the engine is running so if your scavenge pump doesn't have a check valve or some other way of preventing gravity feed of oil to the turbo when the engine is off, it might not fix the problem.

You safety glasses

$12000 dollar turbo when new in 1998 now worth $178.50 on marketplace

J. L. says:

Dude!!! That was a sick move!! Nice job! Btw what is the white stuff in the pump elbow tip you installed? For some maybe obvious but not for me.

Todd Atkin says:

MASTER of SegWay…..cool.

Matthew Burns says:

12:50 how is it street legal without catalytic converter‘s? Ooos shhhhh lol

Matthew Burns says:

12:36 could you not just heat up the oxygen sensors to burn the oil off?

Michael Vette says:

One thing I would do is bypass that "turbo kit" company. Go directly to a turbo manufacturer, or get spec info. On what size feed line to the turbo. It might be getting fed too much oil. Second, that scavenge pump is not supposed to run continous. Run a by-pass, and have the scavenge pump activated by a switch on the throttle. Activated at 3/4 to full throttle. Shocks? Lets see, what do those 911s come with, McPherson strut type? Sounds like previous owner, just dropped in some springs on the stock shocks. So just get a good new set of shocks. The ones in there are prob blown. In the old days, it was Bilstein's or Koni's. Those progressive coils looked decent.
