Should There Be Any Oil In Pipes Going From

[RRR32_GoDzIlLa]

do most turbos produce a bit of excess oil which coats pipes heading to intercooler and possibly thru fmic or is this a very bad sign.

engine is in very good condition so it shouldnt be coming from that.

are my turbo's f**ked???

i took air pods and pipes off to clean and decided to take off intrercooler piping to clean too and noticed oil as u can see below.

so, whats up with that - anyone????

Well the oil seal in one or both of your turbos is starting to go

so they're going to eventually need a rebuild

it's a very common thing

well the car is going in for a tune and power fc installed on tuesday and we are going to be turning the boost up to a bar. should i not turn up the boost?????

time bomb. That is way too much oil. I just took the intake piping off my 97 model gtst. I would describe the oil as not being visible to the eye. It is only evident if I run my finger on it. My finger turns slightly brown.

Your turbos and or engine are dieing.

the engine that was in the car previously was very smokey and was rooted. This is why he replaced it with an rb26 out of a 33 and so r the turbos. ( a month or so ago) it has only been running for a couple of weeks and the oil in the engine is very clean as it has been rebuilt and the oil in the pipes is much darker.

is it possible that the oil is from the old engine and the guy who put the 33 engine in did not clean out those pipes or intercooler.

is it possible to tell????

Yeah it is - clean the pipes.. let it warm up and take it for a drive... then come back pull the pipe off and check again? if its not there then there is your answer.. but seriously i wouldnt be pushing the car (i.e up the boost, and push it to its limits) as its a time bomb waiting to go off.. Just baby it, or spend the money and get the seals replaced.
