g day, this is the first time doin this so excuse the slowness. but i guess slowness is something in my car as well .. Iown a R32 GTSt. dropped a fairly new donk in ... 65,000 a year ago ... done a few thousand and serviced it more than regular... prob every 3000 to 4000. New filter and motul 4100... i just noticed that it started to get really lumpy on idle and i instantly thought fouled plug or dirty AFM... but just as i pulled into my work i got a sudden smell of oil cooking.... popped the hood and oil has blown out of my BOV and also has blown up the intake nearly reaching the AFM.. my first thought was that the seal in the turbo was shot or maybe the whole turbs unit needs replacing....... any one with any thought on what it could be......cheers. icon2.gif

try buying a catch can and fitting it, u might be getting excess oil coming through your blowby and its just being sucked back in through the turbo, that may explain why you have it near the afm. Is the car blowing black smoke?

NO black smoke no white smoke no smoke at all just a crook running Rb20.... i may have overfilled my fresh oil.... could this add to the problem....? the car has never given me any probs never done anythin out of ordinary with just the usual .. drive to work and back ...... I put the two breather pipes off the rocker cover into a coke can and drove it .... no oil in that .. still oil out of BOV though...

how long was the piping plumbed into the coke can? it can be a gradual thing the oil moves the system
I think DB334 hit it on the head... just waiting for greg at autosport to get back to me bout it .... He has her at the moment .. hopfully it is just the turbs blown out cause of the oil level.. Fingers crossed.... Cheers guys for your input .. starting to understand the way these things work.. Have a good one.....icon1.gif
PCV Valve ...??? sorry mate what is it .. first turbs i have owned sorta new terminolligy to me .....

Most cars have them just ensures the blow by is vented from the crank case (positive crankcase vent valve). Could just be that you overfilled the sump besides that I agree with excessive blow by, maybe get a compression test done.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
