Having a clean up of the bay today,

Noticed at the front of the turbo a bit of collected "gunk" and where the turbo goes into the I/c like the top bit looking down was a bit black so I'm thinking it's got a slight oil leak, it's a v2 sti, can I just get it refurbed? Or do I buy I new turbo? What turbo will I need for an sti v2?

sssssteeeee

hi your turbo as far as I know would be a vf series mab a 34. also I have a lovely td04 for sale with new wastegate actuator, mapped by thwaites to 281 bhp. if that helps

The oil is probably from the breather return to the intake, does the car smoke? Turbo is probably fine.

Ah I did see that the black pipes where coated in oil like above the turbo, well no it doesn't no more than usual exhaust fumes! How do is or this breather out ? I noticed the pipe into the dv was a bit black so I'm guessing it's this breather then ! What do I need to do ?

^^agree its probably just gunk from breathers. Dump valve might chuck some oil vapours out messing things up a bit!
