Silicone thread sealer on banjo fittings

[Driftapparel.com]

So I was leaking from the banjos when I replaced the turbos and the guy who made me the custom sb oil line told me to go ahead and put this silcone thread sealer that he handed me on the blots and then a little on the outside nut to seal it all up.

Could this be at all any of the new problem I am facing!?!

After boosting for first time after break in of rebuilt turbo the car now wants to die and throttle response basically does not exsist, and the motor is shaking kinda violently. (not as bad as when I didn't have the intake sensor hooked up)

Any ideas, advice or recomendations guys?

Very much appreciated!

So you're still on banjo fittings? Did you use a brand new copper crush washer?

No - thread sealer on a banjo bolt will not make your car run like crap. Why would you think that?


Check for vacuum/boost leaks.

yeah I did but I kept thinking that the silicone could very easily get into the turbo so I thought maybe it gummed up the turbo or the lines were being blocked by the silicone as I was screwing them in because the thread gauge is so tight. If thats the case then maybe the turbo was not getting oil and or water and could be seizing, making my car run like crap. I could be wrong but thats why i'm asking.

Silicone should dry in a matter of minutes. You shouldn't be driving while waiting for silicone to dry anyways.
