yes, it's true, once you get a taste of horsepower, you just want more and more!

Having oil in your intercooler does not mean that you have a blown turbo. Its probably normal blow by from not having a catch can installed between your pcv and air intake.

As long as you have a proper oil feed restrictor then you shouldnt have any more issues with blown turbos.


Truth, If its a little oil its your pcv, if its alot, like puddles then you have a problem.

Along with an oil restrictor, make sure your drain line is unobstructed, If the oil cant exit fast enough because the feed is too much then you will have a problem. so the drain and feed go hand and hand.
