Angry VF35 PROBLEM! OIL IN THE MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER!

Hi, yestarday i had drag races and i got 12.70 @ 180 Kph.

Today i check my engine and i found the Manual Boost controller(turbosmart) with oil . One month ago i swaped orig td04 for a second hand IHI VF35. I was running 17 - 18 PSIs of boost.

I am very worried because the oil comes from the turbo and i am not sure if that turbo can be repaired. Please i need help from the experts. what could be happen, a gasket inside the turbo? please! can this turbo be opened and repaired??? i heard thath ihi turbos were sealed. I think it is not ball bearing (i asked one month ago here)

what do i have to do?

Anyone with this problem?

Thanks in advance!!

LG

I doubt it'll be the ball bearing as I don't think the VF35 has one!

It may not be oil from the turbo but it could be oil from the breathers that are fed into the turbo inlet pipe. Check these.
