Oil in Compressor outlet - greddy turbo
Last night i was having some fun running with a new cayenne turbo s in a canyon full of twisties. As I was going for a pass I heard the sound of my blow off valve venting to atmosphere. Problem is....I don't have a bov.
After coasting to a stop, i found that the coupler had came off the compressor outlet and there was oil inside the coupler and also inside the compressor outlet. It wasn't a lot of oil, but it was very noticeable.
Is this normal on oil cooled/lubricated turbos? (as opposed to an oil/water cooled turbo) Or is a seal leaking?
The turbo is running fine, spools up great (6 psi by 3600 rpm) , but this also explains why I am burning a little oil.
