I had some coke in my 1835 Hapi turbo also. I think it was caused by not having a scavenger oil pump [it was gravity drained]. Anyway, I had it overhauled and they told me the seal plate was on backwards. Apparently the previous owner tied to inspect it and reassembled it wrong. That may have had something to do with the coke buildup also. I had a diesel mechanic overhaul the turbo they do that kind of work routinely.
