Hi
I just bought a use turbo 9 with 56k mile on it. There is oil on the turbo(picture), I took the intake off my car and it's look clean, free of oil but there are oil on the intake tube on my car. Is this normal on the turbo 9 and oil in the intake.

 

excuse me for the large picture, I don't know why, I took it with my phone.

 

if its a little amount then yeah not serious mine always had a lil bit that rested in the intake closer to the turbo... if its more then like the size of a quarter then (dun dun dunnnnn)

 

Is my turbo look ok.

 

Anyone?

 

check shaft play. but looks fine to me.

 

+1 check for shaft play, it "looks" fine, there should be oil residue if the vent from the valve cover to the turbo intake pipe was used. If you don't want your turbo to look like that, place a catch can in between

 

No shaft play. I worry about that oil.

 

Looks okay. If your really worried, put in a catch can.

 

my nine turbo is off with far fewer miles and it looks exactly the same

 

Thanks
I'm looking for a catch can now.
