you don't "change the oil" for the aerocharger setup. you just add oil to its resevoir, which it may have gotten a bit dry
time to call chuck

I thought the areo chargers you changed the oil....where the hell does the oil go then?
Ah well....
I am sure someone on the jet has a turbo that will fit or you could make one fit....bigger turbo
If I had known I was coming into this tbird I don't think I woulda bought this ported head I got...

the aerocharger just has a little line that runs down to it, the bearing are fed with a wick system

I bet it would be cheaper to rebuild, then get a whole new set-up.
Didnt somebody make a upgrade kit using a different turbo?

Thats what I am thinking, I swore I seen something on FJ, I think the flange or something had to be changed, I haven't looked for it recently.
