The ph1 is still running the kkk it was born with and after just hitting 140,000 miles and a fair amount of abuse I'm starting to think its dying.
Power is very slightly reduced but it's not hitting the 21-23 psi it was before.
Also I cleaned a lot of oil off the back of the block to find a small drip off the housing a few hrs later.
The intercooler pipes are also filling with a 'pourable' amount of oil within a couple of weeks, more than I've ever had.
Is it time to replace old faithful? It's been a brilliant turbo but can't have it run away with the engine. Replace now and with what!?
