Some of you missed my community post and comment on last week's video pertaining to Peter, so here it is again.

Hey guys, first off thank you so much for your concern in the comments about Peter. I’ve said this many times before, but I have the best subscribers in the world and appreciate you all looking out for someone that you’ve seen on my channel.

I may touch on this in the future, but for now, I need to let you know that Peter no longer works for Legit Street Cars and he’s no longer associated with Legit Street Cars as a channel, brand, or company. Peter is no longer allowed on my personal property or at my shop. Please understand I can't comment any further at this time, and my hope is we can keep things respectful, and keep speculation out of this for the sake of all parties.

I am going to keep moving forward and doing what I love most and that is wrenching on cars and sharing the adventure with all of you. We all have the decision in life to let things hold us back or rise above it and I choose the latter. Big thanks to my wife, family, closest friends, and to all of you. You guys make this channel possible and together we’ve created one of the most positive automotive communities in all of YouTube. I’ll see you all in the next video!
Alex

Max, your editing has skyrocketed to epic levels over the past year. Feels like I’m watching a tv show rather than your typical YouTube vid. Bravo! Alex, you’re alright, too. 😂

[neipas]

True mechanic. No idea how you stayed so positive with all that work even with the camera on you. Awesome work.

This video feels like it came out at a perfect time for your channel. Going back to the roots of the channel is like a reboot after a little bit of drama that happened last week. Glad to see you moving on and creating great Saturday morning content! Buono lavorare Alex!

I switched my 3 turbo cars to Comp oil-less turbos in 2020 and have had zero issues. Two of which are rotary powered so I was alil worried about the higher EGT's but they have performed flawlessly. Every once in a while you give it a few squeezes of their mineral lubricant and your good to go 🤙

The issue of your exhaust smoking before was most likely due to your oil drain set up for your old turbo. The oil drain is gravity feed, and it looked like the routing wasn't a straight shot from the bottom of the turbo to oil pan. When you removed the drain line in this video, oil was dribbling out. That signifies that the oil was pooling up in the drain since it wasn't a direct flow to the pan. This translates to oil not being able to drain quickly enough, which causes excess oil to get built up and get stuck in the turbo. Eventually, the oil will start leaking past the turbine side piston ring seal on the turbine wheel shaft from the excess pressurized oil not being able to gravity drain fast enough. The oil passes through and gets into the turbine wheel area and burns from the hot exhaust. I worked at Turbonetics for 8 years and saw many turbos leak for the same reason. A properly routed oil drain is key to not having the smoking you were experiencing.

Dude is so happy. This car brings him happiness. I'm happy for him.

Curious how that Turbo will hold up over time. Looking forward to more on the McLaren.

I absolutely love your TA. It was the video where you first bought the Caprice that brought me to your channel, and I then proceeded to check out everything to do with your TA after that, as well as your white C63. I had a 97 Camaro as my first car, so these F-body cars will always have a special place in my heart.

[screamerchaotix]

You have nailed that Saturday morning vibe perfectly, sir. Big love from an import, but fellow car guy!

[johnanderson]

[dooder]

You're inspiring, brother. Slowly but surely getting back to work on my '95 talon tsi awd that i traded a '96 explorer sport for back when i was ~17. your unadulterated happiness after this episode pumps me up to feel the same when my talon is back on the road!

[dannymcneal]

I totally enjoyed watching this entire video! And especially the way you explained the process as you go, and how giddy you are at your successes. Like a teenager with his first car! Keep ‘em coming! And thanks again!
