I recently installed a turbo in my car, and then a couple weeks later, had the seals go bad. So now my intercooler pipes and intercooler have oil in them. Enough oil got through the intercooler that I see some on the outlet of my BOV. I haven't taken the piping from the intercooler->TB off yet, but I'm sure there is a decent amount of oil in there.

Anyone have any idea what to do about this? I'm sure my intercooler will be somewhat restricted now, and I don't like the idea of any more oil going through my intake tract. I'm thinking there must be someway I can clean it without breaking anything, but can't think of how
thanks

 

You better check to see where your tapping your Oil Sending Line From...

~30PSI is the Rule of Thumb...anything more will **** over your seals.

brake cleaner, carb cleaner, solvent tank, waterhose, etc... just let it dry out first

 

My oil feed line is tapped from the oil pressure sending location and has a -4AN line, much like everyone else. I was wondering if for some reason too much oil was getting there. My oil return line is a straight shot (no kinks) to my moroso oil pan.

Anyway, I think I'm just gonna run some degreaser through it and see if that helps.
