oil blowby/turbo 8
got a problem that I think i have the solution for, well two possible solutions, just wanted to get some feedback before doing it first.
The turbo is basically new less than 6000 miles on it, upgraded turbo but i have always gotten oil ponding in the intake pipe coming from the intercooler where it curves (greedy setup). Once I hit boost of course some of the oil goes in the intake and ya can smell it cuz its way too much.
So I have two possible solutions:
1) oil catch can connected to a new nipple placed in the bottom of that curve intercooler intake pipe and the other hose on the can connected to the vacuum source on the oil filler neck. thus hopefully sucking all the oil from the place thus never getting in the intake.
2) oil restrictor in the oil line going to the turbo. but i was thinking, i would rather place the inline restrictor at the source (where the oil line connects to the engine) rather than battling with the tight area and turbo. Is that okay? Second, where do you get the restrictors at?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
thanks
