Blow off / Charge Relief Hoses (FD)
 
Hi all-

Is it normal to have a some oil some out of the blow-off and/or charge relief hoses in an FD? I've currently got mine unfiltered and noticed that they've released a but of oil into the bay. One post here suggested that it was normal, but another suggested that the turbos were on they're way out. I've got NO problems with boost, so the seem healthy, but then again, this is my first turbo car, so I may be missing something....

Also, I've looked at alot of engine bay pictures that don't seem to have these hoses. Where do people route them so they're not in the way?

Thanks!

Maybe I am wrong as I am not an Expert on Turbos but Think I got a good grasp on them when I built my car up.
The Blow off valve is on the intake side of the turbo,so there is no real way for someone to say that the turbos would be "on their way out".
What I am assuming in your case is that the oil is from the venting of the crankcase to the intake so the Oil fumes are coating the insides of the pipes with a fine mist that eventually shows up as oil.
You could do a Catch can to the oil ventilation system and alleviate that,if that is the case.
