Well my guess of it costing as much as a new turbo was wrong, its 100-150 for the kit, and it takes 2-4 hours to rebuild at $80 an hour (Assuming) So thats not to bad, as long as the exhaust and compressor housings are ok.

I think everything is ok it's just leaking some oil but not making any noise so I figured I better do it asap.

Believe this or not a dirty air filter (almost clogged) can cause oil in the intake side of the turbo. Most liking not your problem if you have a lot in there. Also be careful a bad turbo leaking oil can cause run-away.

oil leaking into the intercooler is very bad. like has been said can cause a runaway and the only way to stop it is shut off supply off. knowing what i know now i would not drive one like that. very good chance of scattering the motor. :hellox:

Will the intercooler come out without unhooking the ac condenser and what would be the best thing to use to clean the intercooler?

Not sure on the condenser but the best way to clean it is soak it in hot water with Dawn dish soap, keep rinsing with hot water and resoaking with fresh soap till it's clean. Some will say any dish soap will work but don't buy into that, try washing greasy hands with the other brand, then try dawn and you'll see what I mean. The bathtub is good for soaking your intercooler if it dosn't get you killed :w2: :c:

you should be able to pull the intercooler out of the way if you remove the top support.
