I took the boost tube off the car today to install the Stage kit sensor and noticed a little oil was dripping out of the tube and from the intercooler... the stock sensor also soaked in oil.
The car ran fine earlier this morning (did a quick 3rd to 4th pull under full boost) before I parked her to cool down for the Stage Kit install , no codes nothing.

Anybody had this? That can't be right.

i have oil in my turbo inlet but havn't had time to figure out a good clean install of a catch tank but i would say your getting blow back through the pcv that runs to your intake

So I quess this is normal... :confused:

i know it's not good. srt-4's are notorious for this. probably need to figure out a way to install a catch can.

it is normal just install a oil catch can

yep. what he said lol

I have noticed this on mine too. You are going to be tearing shit up at the track not that your stage 1!:twothumbs

Is there even a good catch can out there that works will with our cars?

what about the one from modernperformance?

Update

Ok, it was not as bad as I thought... maybe a teaspoon of oil total.
I took the intercooler plus all the tubes off the car and cleaned them properly with a degreaser. Everything went back smoothly, new sensors installed and ready for my 2 pm reflash tomorrow.:twothumbs

BTW I noticed that I do not even have a snorkel from the airbox into the fenderwell:eek:

On the shorter tracks like DDT and Shannonville Fabi I might not gain anything for the car is already traction limited in 2nd unless I get a set of R6's or something...but on Mosport she is really going to fly once I figure out the new shift points! All that midrange TQ is what you want on the big tracks.;)

I don't either.

Coz I took that fcker out.

Ebay has plenty of them ranging from $20 and up, any sealed catch can will work, you don't want the vented style.
The steel braided line on the side of the valve cover is the one that you want to run to the catch can, its a pita to take off from the turbo and even more pita to disconnect the swivel fitting from it. In the end it should look like this.

I don't really trust e-bay parts especially not on a new car that's just my opinion though.

PS: What car is that a picture of?

uhh ok but a catch can is a catch can. seriously it's just a container where oil goes into

Whats there not to trust, you have a can with two fittings on it, one costs $20 and the other $120 and they're all made in china.
Or goto ikea and pick up a stainless steel can and add some fittings to it.
The car is a solstice gxp, same lnf engine and rwd.

lol seriously this isn't a gt30 chinese knock-off ebay kit, its a catch can

Actually a quality catch can would be best on these cars. It needs to be sealed and well baffled by some form of media. Mostly because synthetic oil is much more difficult to condense. Most of the ebay ones you'll find are not sealed well OR have zero baffling. Improvising an air compressor water separator would be better IMO if you must do it on the cheap.

I'm working on a nice lil plug n play system for my car using the proper russel 3/8" fuel fitting adapters + -6 lines. Not for everyone, but I'm one of those "do it right the first time" kinda guys.

Not trying to preach to anyone, but do some research on the matter and you'll see what I mean.

Being this is a direct injected car, I think putting a catch can on is important.

i have read about alot of cans that are baffled with steel whool kinda makes me nervous about a piece flying into my turbo and tearin shit up

I am also working on a few ideas, but nothing solid. If we could just bleed the oil from the rubber elbow between the IC and hard pipe (cold side) that would be good. Most of the oil gets caught in there.
