Helo people
I haven't had my turbo long. im putting in 1L of oil every 5-700 miles . I top up to just under max but after a few 100 miles it drops past the min marker is this normal? thanks

 

No mate, I would guess you either have a leak or a problem with the engine or turbo causing it to burn oil. Seems a lot to be burning though, so I'd check for a leak.

Also check for smoke whilst driving.

 

intercooler full of oil?

 

I was using a litre in Billy my 03 Blob every 1000 miles, now I have piston ring failure the car uses literally none. Maybe a cap full every 3000 miles.

 

Would that cause oil to shoot out of his VTA?

 

Common problem is cam seal, both my impreza's have this problem, just had one fixed, other one going in soon, to have cambelt done so getting cam seal done at sametime. Thing is you might not notice the leak as your under tray cover has a sponge inside this seams to soak most of it up, but i removed my heat shields so it now drips on the exhaust and smells.

ill check that tomoz after work

its running a few mods and no map yet, and also using 5-30 im changing that to millers 10-40 do you think its because the oils to thin so its burning away?

and when I top the oil back up I need to do the same with the coolant not much just like half a 1pt glass
