Hi, i vented my blowof valve to the atmosphere a month ago and, I just got brand new turbos installed in my car about 3 weeks ago. Today after an evening cruise i popped my hood for the car to cool down and just doubled checked all the hoses to the intake box were secure, until i touched the blow of valve hose and noticed that on the outside of the house and inside a little there was little bit of fresh oil? should this be a concern? also when i removed my air box to clean out my knn filter inside i noticed that the hose that goes to the air box to the primary turbo not the one that connects to the box but the end that connects to the turbo had lots of oil residue inside it, normal?

 

I have the same thing to except that mine leak a lot more oil 'cuse the need rebuilding, but I think it is normal for a little oil to leak out.

 

Oh by the way i did the fan mod by pulling my air conditioner fuse, now my air pump doesnt turn? is it ok if it doesnt spin? what good does the air pump do anyways? sorry guys a newbie here

i think its perfectly normal for there to be a bit of oil in the bov line.

 

I believe the air pump is a smog related item. I don't know if it would be affected by puling that fuse. Is the air pump a belt driven piece?

 

yeah its belt driven. The belt is turning just the triangle thing attatched to the front of the airpump isnt turning

 

i don't have an FD, nor do i know how it works exactly, but i know on piston engines, there is a hose that goes from teh camcovers to the intake pipe, to recycle unburnt gases etc. most people replace that iwht a catch can or a breather filter kit.

could this be the cause of seeing oil in the intake pipe near the turbo?

The air pump pumps air to the catalytic converter to help light off the cat before it's warm. Supposedly running w/out an airpump will cause your cat to fry quicker.

Here's a better fan mod (if you don't mind not having a/c): Pull the a/c relay. Then put the fans on high with the a/c on--the compressor won't kick on (so no a/c) but the fans will come on high. Everything else will work like it should--including the airpump

 

thats what i have done, i have pulled the ac relay! its all good it works, the front of the air pump spins when the car is revving higher and moving
