oil in the intercooler pipe
I have a b16, 99 civic that just got turbo about 3 weeks ago. The full set up is new to include the turbo but the other day i had to load it up on a trailer cause i was moving and had to remove the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler and notice there was oil in it. I have also noticed that sometimes i will blow a little of smoke out the exhaust pipe and it smells like fresh oil. Can somebody help me and tell me why is this happening when is a brand new set up.( by the way is not an ebay turbo is a precision).

Re: oil in the intercooler pipe
Do you have a restrictor? How big is the feed line? Whats happening is oil is getting pushed past your seals and going into the compressor housing of the turbo and into your piping. Check if you have any play in the turbo
