I just removed the IC to clean it per the Spring Cleaning tips on gnttype.org. I noticed that the outlet side (to the TB) had quite a bit of what appears to be an oil/gas mixture puddling around the IC hose and coating the outlet neck. There is nothing like this on the inlet side, and the outlet from the turbo is very clean and nice. Is this normal for a high mileage car? I have not yet installed the breather bypass kit, but plan to.
Also, I felt around the turbo and the impeller was nice and smooth with no lateral play or end play that I could detect by hand.
Thanks!
Jeff
