Thread: Oil in the turbo and wiggly turbine...how much is too much?

That does look a little crusty.
There will be a LITTLE movement in the turbo bearing, which is normal.
The oil could be from the turbo or the poorly designed crankcase breather bolted to the rocker cover.
You can get a replacement CHRA for the turbo.
This is the one I purchased. 18months now without issue.

Still had oil through the intercooler pipes, so I replaced the crankcase breather with a Provent 200 and now have zero oil in the intercooler and pipes.

Cheers,
Tony

thanks Tony,

I think I'll just clean this all up for now and look into a Provent 200 also.
