Uni Filter oil in turbo

[wake jake]

This happened to me again, driving along and all of a sudden no boost and won't rev over 2k rpm. I knew what it was again oil in the turbo. Cleaned it off the turbo after pulling of the pipe from box to the turbo and gave that a wipeout. This happened to anyone else? I oiled the filter a few weeks ago but TBH Hardly oiled it because of this.

Weird, hasn't happened here even after several re oils

Not happened with mine, I use a spray on oil made by Castrol to get a thinner coverage, rather than the Unifilter squeeze by hand method.

I use that oil on my motorbike filter. It is a hell of a lot easier than the unifilter stuff. Might use it on the Ute to. thanks for the idea Naff

Strange because the turbo compressor is usually covered in oil from the crankcase breather hose.
Are you sure it wasn't on the MAF sensor and that got cleaned off when you cleaned out the system?

I cleaned the MAF 2 weeks ago along with the filter weeks ago. Drives well again after doing that but will spray the MAF tomorrow to be double sure.

What is that Castrol product callled Naff?

Thats what im using now as well
Sounds like it might just be over oiling... i get a little bit of oil just past the MAF (AIT) sensor
but not that much to make it to the turbo.
