    The oil seals in your turbos could be gone .
    I pulled mine off and had a look at them, passenger side has oil leaking out the intake side , driver side has oil coming out the exhaust side .
    No shaft play though

    hope yours isn't as bad as that lol
    So did you know if you still have stock turbos or after market ones ?

    having spoken to Tom, he suggests that with stock up to the cat, the back pressure is the same as stock from Nissan and hence no balance is required. (ie the back pressure between the Cat and the Turbos has not changed)

    This only becomes an issue if you go hiflow cat, or more so, catless.

    The thread posted, the guy had upgraded his FULL system to 2.5 inch.

    hence yes, the back pressure would have changed from stock between the turbos and the cats.

    (Tom, open to your comments if Ive mis-interpreted at all)

    Vader Just another guy

    I just read that complete thread, (GREAT INFO) and two things came to mind...

    Would a balance pipe help my NA? (I'm not blowing smoke at all)
    I recently adjusted my idle and now have a completely different timbre from my cat-back exhaust. It's much 'meatier' if that makes sense.

    Remember... NA not TT.
