Oil In Turbo And Ic And Throttle Body

[antscelicagt]

Having gone through the checks, (pipes turbo, electrical connections) to find why my turbo dosen't boost, has found me stumble upon a small problem. i found that there is oil in the turbo inlet and outlet going through the intecrcooler and into the inlet manifold..

obviously there is something wrong, but being a novice on the turbo front, could anyone tell me whats up and a way to rectify this situation.

thanks,

tony.

Sounds like it's time for a new turbo.

Yep sounds like your turbo has died....

how much oil? a light amount is fine a lot spells problems. when you say no boost is it lower than normal or none at all?

f boost is lower than normal then it could be that the intercooler needs flusing through to remove the oil. if you have no boost then its not unknown for the turbo shaft to snap or the hot side turbine wheel to loose all its vanes. both of these meen new tubbie time
