I've got a lot of oil in my intercooler piping and I don't want it there! what are the causes of that and what can I do to reduce it?

seeing how ur saying turbo i am asuming u got a 3s-gte 2.0L. i have just actually done all the calculations to run a turbo at 15 lbs of boost with a projected hp gain at max efficeney of 300hp and the garrett gt7031R or the gt 7036R is plenty should have low turbo lag and good boost

I paid for one and never recieved it. then I got another and it was in terrible shape and was missing a ton of parts and siezed after about a week of boosting. Then I got this one and the guy I got it from said it only had 30K miles on it. and it has very minimal shaft play. I'm running about 10 PSI on it, but it creeps up to about 12 in 5th gear. and I do have a turbo timer. I usually let it idle about 10 seconds if I did normal driving with no boosting, 30 seconds if I boosted it a little but it had a few minutes of normal driving before I shut it off, and 1 minute 30 seconds if I boosted it really hard, or just got done a hard run. If I do anything, I'm leaning towards the T3/T4 route. it seems like it'd be the most cost effective. but I'd probably get a geniune garrett turbo rather than an ebay one. but I keep hearing good reports of the ebay ones lately when I used to hear only bad reports. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
