OIL in the INTAKE??

okay is this where the blow by oil goes to if its not caught in the catch can? Or is this just normal? I dont think oil is supposed to be in the intake tube of the turbo is there? Do you guys think I need a catchcan? Or is this worse? OIl leak?

get a catch can.. that is normal, the oil you have in there.. now if there was puddles in there than your turbo bearings would be going bad..

its cuz your evo is running pig rich with the stock map.... do you see a tube that comes from the corner of your engine and it goes right into the intake tube.... thats why your getting that oil, and that is where you install the catch can.

as soon as get your fuel map adjusted by yourself or a flash tune, you will much less.
