crazyman03 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well, Pulled the turbo off.... ... ... wait for it... ITS FINE!! WTHECK?!? Ideas?????? To add: it bucks at about 2-3500... -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) If the breather hoses to the heads and/or the PCV valve stuck open and/or it's hose are misrouted or clogged in some way, you can get oil in the intake. For instance a stuck open PCV will allow boost pressure into the crankcase which could push oil out the breather hoses. Or perhaps the PO tried to install catch-cans or an air/oil separator and did it poorly. Still no CEL?

Turbone Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well, Pulled the turbo off....... ... wait for it... ITS FINE!! WTHECK?!? Ideas?????? To add: it bucks at about 2-3500... -Justin What do you mean by "fine"? Just because there may be no shaft play doesnt mean the seals arent shot.

Squirrel in the intake? :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 What do you mean by "fine"?Just because there may be no shaft play doesnt mean the seals arent shot. good point look for oil upstream from the turbo, if none found, probably bad seals.

crazyman03 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ok, yea. by fine i mean it spins, no In/out play and no wiggle play. it does have a lot of oil on the intake side - probably the reason for the low oil problem and it does need to be rebuilt with as many miles as it has on it. The bonkers part is: no CEL. Yes, the light works on initial "key-on" test and Yes, I've plugged a reader in just for giggles and returned no codes :-/. We were thinking of putting it all back together and putting a boost gauge on it to see.. kinda wish we did that in the first place, though it really looked like it was shot. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Tumble Generator Valves working properly? I had that code pop up one day and my car felt like it was in limp mode so, I dunno, without a code I'd say unlikley, but the other symptoms seem similar.
