its not carbon, its probably oil. dose your car smoke? could be bad seals in the turbo. take off your charge pipe and look down the compressor theirs probably oil their.

Wow you have a Blow UP Valve. How long is your motor going to run!

Probably just a little blow by. Normal on a Turbo car. What's you PCV setup?

LOL i was up for over 24 hours when i typed this post. Any way the turbo is brand new so the seals should be ok. The car doesnt smoke at all. As far as PVC all i have is a stock PCV valve on the valve cover and a little filter on the other side of the valve cover where a catch can shoudl go ( ijust havent got around to installing the catch can)
There is no oil spraying or leaking out at the filter though.. so its not needed as much.

See, even with a catch can setup, I got a little oil build up in some areas of my intake track.

What im talking about though looks sort of like when your under your car and see an exaust leak. its sort of like that.. from the looks of it i mean...

Ya, even stock cars get it, but it normally acumalate in the Intake. Boosted cars are worse, but it is normal.


But you really should get a good PCV setup going.
