Pulled the pipe off my boost compensator to test boost and loads of oil came out is this normall

[Josh_Quant]

Sounds like turbo shagged

[THE_Liam]

Yes and no. Technically it shouldn't be there, it means the turbo oil seals are leaking, but I wouldn't worry. You get this on most turbos past 60-70k if not sooner, and it doesn't cause much of an issue. Put it this way, I had a DT that would boost 24psi easily on a K14 with no noises or issues, and that leaked so much oil it filled up the glass on my boost gauge!

Thanks there wasnt a huge amount but il keep an eye on it.
Might just buy new one this seems good enough excuse

[jonny1.6]

as laim says there will be some but keep a eye on it and if you notice blue smoke or lose of power then youve a problem,and yea never does any harm having few spares lying avout when you drive a d-turbo good excuse to buy a tdo4

[the milkman]

your vacuum pipe always tends to drag a little through but aslong as its not like mine where you can pour a nice amount out of the intercooler it should be fine
