Hi guys how’s everyone.

So recently I was tearing down my top end of my turbo to remove mods to go back to stock and that included my turbo blanket. Well doing so I took the plastic housing of the inlet off and thought I should share this with others.

So I have been gettting worse and worse gas mileage and take off issues and found that this corrected the issue or at lease 80% of the issue I was having.

So the plastic out and the turbo blade exposed now I found a large amount of soot in my turbo pipes as well as crude oil that had seeped in between the rubber gaskets that seals it to the turbo which caused a large leakage of air during build up. This in turn makes the turbo struggle to spool up and waste a lot more gas waiting for it. In the end I had to clean out the whole assembly with a rag and clean the seals as well as clean the small air hoses on the opposite side out. Which had oil seepage coming from it. ((Bolts to the plastic with 2 bolts drivers side.)) I also had to clean the oxygen sensor as it had a very thick layer of black soot on it. (( used oxygen sensor cleaner Only on this part.))

After all the cleaning and fitting the pipe back with clean seals I had better spool up and quicker take offs and noticed right away I was using less gas according to the dash read out. Still waiting to see what kind of change I will get in mileage but I hope it to be closer to what it was at 7 l per 100 km in town again. It was currently at 10.3l per 100km which was insane for this car as I could get better mileage at 9.5l in a v8 Chevy Silverado.

I am also providing some pictures of the pipes and to show how much came out of the one pipe. I used all white clean rags to clean it so any thing that shows is from the pipe.

no pictures can be seen. Also, what was your average OCI and what lubricant has been used?
