oil mist on manual boost controller

Postby gauci204 on Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:14 pm

hi guys,

i have started to notice oil mist on the outside of my manual boost controller (installed when i had the Ecutek work done), is this something normal, or is this the start of something i need to act on quickly?

i have cleaned it all up so i can see if it does it again and how much it produces during this week but dont want to kill it if it is something avoidable. i have also replaced the Provent filter as the previous one was soaked so i shall see how that goes.

if its the turbo going, its the perfect excuse to do the turbo conversion :twisted:

cheers lads

No that is just oil mist from your PCV venting through the boost controller. Normal. No turbo upgrade for you! :P :lol:

thanks for that, im glad its nothing serious, but also sad that i dont have a perfect excuse for a turbo upsize.


oh well, one less thing to do before next years big trip. although, i was kind of looking forward to the turbo upgrade, it would be interesting to see how far the ecutek boys would push it for me. :twisted:

might try to find another motor first, just in case :lol:
