No, it was a lot of oil, that's why the TBB was slipping off so much and at certain places you could whipe your finger across the pipping and get a nice glob of it on your fingers. Oil level was pretty low, too.

So, looks like someone is getting a turbo-timer for their b-day [8D]

 

eeshh... that doesnt sound good.. I would be hard pressed to say that the turbo is blown.. Pretty rare to blow the k04 esp w/o fueling. Not to say that it couldnt, just would be surprising. Def. could be a oil line loose somewhere.. Do you have a boost gauge if not see if you can do a pressure test. Try to see what kind of spool your getting on the turbos.. also if theyre blown youd most likely know it and hear a bad whine.

 

Well the owner isn't online now, but I do remember hearing a strange sound from the engine bay, like scrapping. But when in the car and driving along, the turbo sounds fine. But it lags a lot, at full throttle there is no boost until the second turbo kicks in.

 

my guess would be there is a leak somewhere.. Do a pressure test as well as find out what kind of boost you are getting..

 

Alright if I can remember correctly, he got an AWE boost gauge the other day that we put in. And I don't remember it going above 0 until the second turbo kicked in. And what would cause all that oil? I mean, he seems to take pretty good care of the turbos, even if he was a little abusive, this is an extremely short time until the turbos went.

 

well def not good if your not getting any boost.. its possible he did blow them.. just doubtful on teh k04s. not sure where its coming from.. leak somewhere..

 

My guess is it's blown, too. But wtf. And I have no idea how that oil could get into the intake if it wasn't blown.... anyway, thanks for the help.

 

i do get some boost after pushing the gas. it shows on the boost gauge, but you don't really feel it until it gets into a higher rev. is the lag possibly due to the lack of the fueling kit? that was my initial guess.

 

how much boost are you getting?? Im still thinking theres a leak. fueling kit shouldnt really matter with boost.. you still should get high..people with just a chip can get high psi.

 

the car idles at 20 hg or watever... the negative area. and if u rev it will "get boost" but is still below the 0 marker, maybe 2 or 3 psi showing at the most. struggles getting to 10 or 12 psi until the second turbo kicks in... then its no problem
