I took my dv off today and the end had oil in it where it comes off stock intercooler piping. How bad is this? I noticed my boost acting up the last week or two. Seems like at times I'm getting no boost at all. Any ideas? If turbo is bad luckily I have a back up from a 98, mine is a 2000.

 

Very common problem. Most likely the shaft seals are failing. Most guys go for years like that lol - it's that common.

 

You seem to know everything lol. What's the vacuum sound when I lock my doors

 

Lmao hardly, but I've been here awhile. That sound is the vacuum drive from the pump in your trunk that actuates the locks.

 

I'd have to agree with him, I've been on here for a year and I always see you have knowledgable answers. Thumbs up buddy !

 

Thanks guys. Hoping that things I've seen or done can be passed along to help others. That's the whole point of a place like this right?

 

Exactly man ! I love this forum for sure. When I was on bimmerforums there were only a select few I liked, all the others were stuck up ******. absolutely ridiculous haha
