There's not supposed to be oil in here.
I wouldn't have known the turbo was leaking oil into the intake had the intercooler hose not blown off the other day.
Which, I think the waste gate actuator is fucked up because the boost pressure kept spiking whenever I took my foot off the throttle and that's what blew off the intercooler hose.
There needs to be a BOV (blowoff valve) or bypass valve. The wastegate actuator cannot and will not compensate for a fast boost reduction like quickly taking your foot off the go pedal.
That much oil is not great.
Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the waste gate or actuator from what I can tell.
That stock turbo was hitting 35 psi at the top end and The pressure would jump to 40-41 for a split second when I took my foot off the throttle. I think that hose was going to go sooner or later.
I ordered better hoses and clamps to go all around. Those weren't cheap.
No, nor should they be if you want them to hold up to that kind of use.
I see your problem. They were kind enough to circle it for you. (j/k)
