Is there a "normal" amount. I know the turbo has had a small sweat since I got it, but what's normal inside the system. I cleaned it out yesterday after I decided to put a gasket on the turbo to manifold connection. Needless to say a few questions came to mind:
1. What is normal. I've read a good amount of people get oil in the system, we are no different.
2. Will this oil effect the motor being sucked in? Every now and then the car smokes a little, could that be from the oil in the intake?
3. Lastly, if I'm seeing oil by the TB, and it's obviously been sucked through the intercooler, could this effect boost. It occurred to me when I first put the kit on it boosted so high then after 6 months or so, the tuner said it would peak and start to drop off. I have since tightened all the clamps and though have not had it re-dynoed, started to wonder if the oil in the intercooler is blocking the flow, hence the drop in pressure? Let me know what you turbo experts think.
