QUOTE(6strngs @ Feb 5, 2008 - 2:29 AM) [snapback]638172[/snapback] yes, it's true, once you get a taste of horsepower, you just want more and more! Haha this is how boost junkies are born  QUOTE(lagos @ Feb 5, 2008 - 5:40 AM) [snapback]638224[/snapback] 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. -------------------- |
