Ok well tonight i pulled the intake off and come to find out i have oil in the intake. the car doesnt smoke or anything but ya. anyways the turbo is a ta-49 and it is like 8 months old if that. but anyways where could the oil be coming from i think it is the pcv valve could it be this? becasue there is oil in the linew to the wastgate and stuff. like the pcv valve has oil on both ends like where u can see oil the lines have a little in them and stuff. whats going on? could it be the turbo? what do you all think.

MABY YOU CAN TRY THE POSTIVE ACTION CHECK VALVE FROM A.T.R. THAY SAY COMMON STEEL PCV VALVES LEAK UNDER BOOST CAUSING THE PAN TO PRESSURIZE, THUS CAUSING THE OIL TO TRY AND FIND THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

I'm no expert but yea, maybe oil is being sucked through your pcv valve. Just a thought: is your oil overfilled?

Also I believe the pcv sucks air into the vacuum block on the throttle body, so if that is where the oil's coming from it would easily spread to the other vacuum lines (like ur wastegate). Or at least I'd think.

Let us know what you find.

I have the same problem now that the intake is off , i have oil in the TB intake and intercooler and the turbo works great and no smoke. My guess is try to find a better pcv valve because its most likey the one that is causing the hole deal.


good luck
