[Mk2] [Turbo] excesive oil in the intake

Post by Bea »

hi everyone

my rev 3 tubby has alot of oil in the intake, leaking out of my mbc, and being blown out of my blitz bov, i know that its normal to have some oil in the intake...but there is alot more oil than normal. every pipe to the throttle body has a small puddle of oil, although i am not losing oil...the oil level is staying the same, ive got no possetive boost in 1st n 2nd gears and in 3rd gear@ about 4.5k rpm it struggles to reach to 6psi...then drops off suddenly....the only way to get any more boost is in the higher gears (tvis has been disabled) its not a nice boost level...like the car is choking and then reachs 14psi. ive had a compression test and that was fine, and there is not excesive freeplay in the turbo

i do have some white smoke at idle..but none under boost or cruising,
while its smoking at idle if i blip the the throttle it will disapear

also done the check...removing air filter and hot pipe, start the engine upand there was a lot of oil being chucked out from turbo
any ideas ???

thanks

what mike said, while on this point i'd like to say dont use the hks super suction kits, they are the worst for filtration.

someone i know had one on their pulsar and the intake manifold and the ITBs were filthy!
