Turbo Diagnostic
How do I figure out if the turbo is burning oil. I saw that in the intercooler pipe there was a little bit of what it looked like oil. I am not sure but I wanted to check too see if my turbo is really burning oil. It has less then 4000 miles on it but I already saw a crack inside the exhaust turbine. It was acrack on the side but it was visible enough. Also, I checked and there was no shaft play but I need upper intercooler pipes, where the BOV mounts to, and I cant find any anywhere. Is it possible to buy the flange that the BOV is atached to seperatly, because I can fabricate it on the pipe.
Thanks guys.

Re: Turbo Diagnostic
Do you have an oil catch can on? Otherwise you can get oil in the intake and through the turbo.

Re: Turbo Diagnostic
you can get the flange on ebay. as far as the oil it could be your pcv or your turbo.

Re: Turbo Diagnostic
So if the turbo is leaking oil, does it means that seals are gone bad or I have to rebuild the whole thing ? I just saw that there was a trail of oil from the turbo through the pipes back to the intake. It has like 4300 miles on it so i really dont tink its the turbo.
You guys think that an oil catch can will do the trick?
