Check the Blow off valve (if there is one). Also is
the turbo spinning? If not, it is a big restiriction
area. Bad Turbo bearings will cause it to spin slowly
and get overly hot. Is there a cooling line to the
Turbo. My Datsun turbo (Garrett 3) has a oil line to
cool it. Is there something like that that is not
flowing oil? Some things to check.
