There are several reasons for this. One the bearings are worn out and proper pressure can not be built up until the RPM's are increased which builds pressure. 2.) It can be a sign of a worn out oil pump. They go bad over time due to wear and tear and debris in the oil that gets past the oil filter and eventually eats the gears down to nothing. 3.) It could possibly be a clogged oil port or journal 4.) It could also be something as simple as a misreading gauge. 5.) Could be worn out wet float bearings in the turbo's or if they were replaced could be the wrong size oil restrictor and possibly it could be the fact the restrictor was left out all together. 6.) It could be too light of oil. May need thicker oil 7.) It could even be a bad head gasket depending on the severity of the leak. Is your car smoking any? Those are just a few. email me at ChristianKustomz@Yahoo.com if you have any other questions.

What is a turbo twin engine?

The twin turbo engine, has two turbos. With only one turbo, there's what they call "turbo lag", which occurs when the car shifts. a turbo works to certain rpms, but when you shift, all the pressure is lost. So the car needs to starts again taking all the pressure. the twin turbo has 1 turbo that works at low rpm and the other one works for high rpm. With this, you eliminate the turbo lag,...for some they call this new system, "misfiring system" like for the Lan Evo 3. They also call it "anti-lag". P.S. :I just stated the previous answer much clearly.

Which adds more power twin turbo or single turbo?

It's generally agreed that twin turbos spool quicker (less turbo lag) with more low end power. Single turbos usually have better performance in the upper half of the RPM range i.e. drag racing, but twin turbos are also usually smoother i.e. city driving. Twin turbos also generally larger and take up more space than a single turbo. Designed and implemented properly, they have comparable power.

Possibly needs recharged with refrigerant. You can check low pressure side with a guage.


Can you have a twin turbo and twin superchargers in a car?

Both twin turbo AND Twin superchargered, you could..but it would be a complicated installation. Also it would be a very expensive to do, and not worth it...horsepower wise. Volkswagen did have a car with both a supercharger and a turbo. The real reason to run twin - anything... Is that there isn't enough room to fit 1 Big one or you have a sequential set up with a small turbo for low end response and a big turbo for the top end. Twin set-ups are more expensive, complex. You can debate that twins spool faster, but they only see half the exhaust flow, and I have never seen a back to back test proving it and most big turboes are more effiecent.
