went out to move my fuel plate some and when i took the intake horn off the intercooler tube there was some oil in the boot. im assuming it has to be coming from the turbo. am i going to have to but another turbo or could i change the seal myself or what?.... assuming it is the turbo. is it ok to drive like this or should it be takin care of like right now? thanks

 

Passing oil is not a HUGE issue but it should be taken care of rebuild kits are about 80-120 bucks and there a cake walk to do

so it wont hurt anything if i drive like that for a little while?

 

Make sure you have no shaft play either

 

yea theres is very very minimal shaft play, its just letting oil by

 

if its just a light coating ur ok..if its actually like soaked and wet all the way to ur intake then i might be fixing it

make ur your airfilter is ok... a good restriction will cause oil to pass under heavy boost conditions

 

its got a newer filter on it, deffinitly more oil in there then usual but not a ton....anyone ever used that rebuild kit on ebay for $40?

 

dont be cheep its not worth the 40 bucks now for the 350 or more to replace the whole turbo later get genuine holset JMO

 

yea thats kinda what i was thinking, was just wonderin if anyone knew anything about the cheap ones
