Oil In The Intercooler Piping

[97STAGS]

Please help...

i took the intercooler off to clean it and the piping and when i did i found a small amount of oil that had made its way down to the intercooler

now i know this aint right but would someone be able to tell me why this has happened.

a couple of days after i put it all back together the stagea now when it hits boost blows black smoke out the exhaust and doesnt do anything the boost gauge only hits about 3psi and its sounds all chunky and does not speed up

Please help even though im worried about what will be said

give it to me straight what am i looking at

Thanks guys

Oil in the intercooler pipe work would be from the recirculation of blow by gasses, these enter the intake pipe through the breathers ontop of the cam covers and the PCV ( Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve and into the intake pipe just after the AFM. Only way to stop it is to fit a properly baffled catch can set up.

As for the rough running, low boost and black smoke, i'd be checking all the clamps and hoses on you intercooler pipes. Sounds to me like there is a boost leak.
