Ok Putting my pulling truck back together, well i put them new turbo, phat shaft66 on. Started it a few times and was fine. But then i started it on e last time before i put the cab on and oil started shooting out the exhaust side on the turbo[verymad]. What is my problem? Please. Thank you.

I'd think a restriction in your return/ drain line from the turbo. What was that about putting the cab on? Just trying to clear the air.

pull the oil drain tube, check and make sure there is no little plastic plug, ill be honest i left one on a brand new turbo one time, i was in a rush, and forgot to take the dust plug out, started the engine, made a weird sound, shut it down, saw oil dripping out of th ehxaust, pulled the intake only to find oil in the charge air cooler, needless to say, i forgot that plug, and well 40psi of il had to go somewhre, out both of the turbo seals is where it went! just pull it and check. good luck with your problem.

Friend of mine had similar thing happen w/new turbo install his drain hose was kinked causing oil to blow by the bearing seals in the turbo. Check that return line to be sure it's not restricted/kinked even a small amount.
