Post by cosmos »

the turbo or can i just buy a new turbo and forget the rering

someone replied this to me and did not explain why the turbo problem results with alot of oil in the intake .


"A lot of oil in the intercooler piping is a telltale sign of a turbo that needs to be replaced. Water mixed with the oil was probably from condensation or your need for a new radiator. Did you check compression before tearing everything apart? "
