Are you running full engine oil pressure (70 psi+) to the turbo. I seem to remember someone else over powering the Turbo oil seal. The problem was solved with a restrictor in the Turbo oil line to reduce the pressure
to about 40 psi. This was using a TO4 Turbo. If you are using the stock Mazda Turbo I do not know if this info holds true. I do not know if Mazda
put a restrictor in their oil feed line. If you are using the stock feed
line check it out. If using a feed line you supplied it will need restricted
if the stock line was. On the other hand the oil seal may just be worn. IMHO

Thats a great thought, Kelly. I'll see if I can dig up the rest of the stock oil line.
Speaking of oil pressure. I have 70+ psi on engine start and warm up, but after the oil gets hot the oil pressure drops into the 30's as soon as I throttle back. Is this normal?
Perhaps those 2 issues are related.
