ATTN turbo question

i got a new turbo and put it in it lasted two days and it was blowing oil out exhaust i took it off and tore it apart and the seals are still good i was thinking that whoever put it together messed up cus i put it back together and it spun free but not quiet as free but im thinking the snap ring on the turbine exhaust wasnt in right? its supposed to keep oil in right? and i had to take a short piece to put on the mounting bracket drain thing and i might have had the hose to long and was making oil back up?

which turbo kit did you get? also before you put the kit on, a good idea is to take a screwdriver and punch a bunch of holes in the velley pan inside the grommet where the turbo drains.

i just got a t3 t4 hybird turbo and take a screw drive thru the gromet hole and drive it thru? what does that do? and is that the reason for it blowing oil out exhaust is cus the oil drain was backed up?

im using same set up that came on that 94 that i took it off of i just got a new turbo so whatever kit is from the factory and is that the reason for oil to be blowing out exhaust?
