This reminded me that when I replaced the stock intake with the V1 intake from EuroCompulsion, I noticed a small amount of oils sitting in the inlet to the turbo. I wondered at the time if this was normal, but once I buttoned it up, out of sight, out of mind.When you get an oil change, insist on looking at the crankcase as soon as they remove the belly pan. My oil line connection to the turbo charger was badly leaking. The service tech will probably just wipe it off and you will never know, wondering what those oil drips are in your driveway. I got the service manager to look at it. Tightening the flange bolt doesn't seem to help. They asked me to bring it back next week (tomorrow). I'll post what they do to fix it.
That oil residual is normal with the 1.4 multi air turbo....there is a fair amount of blow by that gets past the stock oil/air separator.:|This reminded me that when I replaced the stock intake with the V1 intake from EuroCompulsion, I noticed a small amount of oils sitting in the inlet to the turbo.

Thoughts?
Do people run catch cans on these motors or air to oil seperators? I know on the MY12 Mustang GT they ran catch cans and on the previous Subaru's I've had people run AOS on them.That oil residual is normal with the 1.4 multi air turbo....there is a fair amount of blow by that gets past the stock oil/air separator.:|
I know that a AOS is currently under test and should be brought to the market soon. Yes they are available and used on the same engine in the 500 Abarth. I ran one on my supercharged LS3 Corvette.Do people run catch cans on these motors or air to oil seperators?

I might have to run one then depending on how much people say they are needed for this motor.I know that a AOS is currently under test and should be brought to the market soon. Yes they are available and used on the same engine in the 500 Abarth. I ran one on my supercharged LS3 Corvette.
