Has anyone use a 996 check valve for 993 turbos that leak oil? If so, where can i purchase this? Thanks for your help.

 

What is the brand oil filter that you have installed on your engine (small filter)?

Where is you engine oil level (at the dipstick when HOT)?

Did the oil start to leak at the turbo after a oil change?

How much oil is in the black plastic turbocharger inlet pipes?

 

Of course.
You can get them from Kevin^. How old are your turbos though?, might be a little difficult putting them on 16 yr old turbos.

 

Welcome to the 993TT world. As Kevin is sharing, your question leads one to assume you are having "the old" oil in turbo / IC 993TT problem. As the part you seek is a preventive upgrade, but the root cause may still need fixing.

Lots of forum posts on the whole topic of proper oil MTCE on 993TT and the gremlins that can pop up when making minor deviations / errors.

So upgrades are good ideas 16+ year old cars, but not always the fix to a root cause.

 

Kevin, sent you a pm.

 

Because Kevin is a busy man.

Read the sticky if you haven't

Porsche branded only oil filters
Fill oil halfway below the half mark on the dipstick. Use 20w-50 oil M1 and get the upgrade lines from Kevin.

Just trying to pass along the good advice I have taken/gotten from the list

be sure you don't overtighten the filter as that screws up the intenal check valve which is why the 996 style really is not needed
