[Mk2] [Turbo] Oil on inlet side, breathing system

Post by tiff_lee »

Currently got my turbo apart for a couple of reasons and there is alot of oil residue on the inlet side, compressor housing etc and just wondered is there anything in particular I should be looking at with regards to the breathing system, any mods like re routing pipework to a catch tank etc?

Blank off the breather hose going to the inlet pipe and stick a filter on the oil seperator/catch can on the cam cover :thumleft:

Cheers Rob.

I currently have the intake hose and various other parts off so vac/breather pipes everywhere not connected but there is another pipe on the OE rubber intake hose which if i'm not mistake connects to the other side of the PCV assembly?

Actually while i'm at it is there any 'cleaner' intake setups available.

Currently I have an Apexi power intake or some crap, a hard pipe with hole for air temp sensor and then a blanked breather/vac pipe take off which then leads into OE rubber hose with 2 take off for breather pipes which is coupled to the second OE rubber 90 deg.
