I insyalled the new APR FMIC on my TT the other day and today while driving I noticed lack of power. I pulled over and checked things out. Well I found that the intake hose by the pancake intake had come loose. But what really worries me is that there was alot of oil dripping from the pancake pipe, which is why the rubber hose came loose. Does this mean my turbo is bad? Like a bad seal? If it is a bad seal is this easily fixed? or do I have to fight with ATP about getting a replacement turbo. Its not even a yr old yet. Thanks.

 

pancake pipe??? do you mean the rubber intake pipe if yes its normal to have an oil build up because of the engine breather hose so it depends on how much oil are you talking ( it is an area that needs to be cleaned regular ),

 

The pancake pipe (metal) is just before the smic in the wheel well which is now replaced with a fmic. There is a rubber hose coming from the pancake pipe going to the new fmic. This hose came off and oil was dripping from the pancake pipe and made a small pool of oil. The hose came off while I was driving and from the looks of things that is covered in oil I would say that the oil flow was pretty good while driving. Too much I think cuz and all that oil was going into the fmic and probably the cyclinders. Plus I get some oil being forced out my diverter valve too. Thanks.
