House got robed wendsday, then on top of it all took the 240 down the street thursday. Car started to act really slugish, when hitting boost at less than 10 psi black smoke would be rolling out the exaust. I got to my house, pulled into the drive way and the car dies on me . Finally get it cranked up,but not without sputtering and spitting like a $5 doller hore. Pull into the garage, check the fuel filter getting fuel in and out , pull first injector getting fuel to fuel rail and injector. Then i pulled the plenum of the back of the intake manifold, well what do you know oil covering the thing! Pull the tube on the front of the intake oil in it. Well to get to the point thinking Ive blown sumthing on the turbo? and oil is bypasing it going to the intercooler and then getting sucked up into the intake and so on .
