Turbo hotside (to intercooler) pipe

[Johnkathy81]

Took my turbo to intercooler pipe off today and saw oil in it.
Should I have oil in here, Is this normal?

Yes.. That's 'Normal'.. It's all the blow-by oil coming from the PCV pipe that leads from the top of your rocker-cover to the turbo... It's well documented.. Putting an in-line Oil Catch Can if the fix.. Forefront Industries does a kit for this..

Thanks mate, been meaning to put a catch can in, think I'll get onto it asap after seeing this.

What happens if you block that blow by hose that goes to the turbo?

What happens if you block that blow by hose that goes to the turbo?

you pressurize the sump and oil gets blown all the engine seals and turbo. result is one big mess and ton of smoke out the back.

fit a catch can and catch the oil.
