Check your intercooler pipe closest to the turbo for oil

i tried, but now theres another problem.... the intercooler piping keeps busting off, is it cause the the turbo is too much for the stock intercooler??

Maybe... try using better hose clamps.

People dont listen. They ask for advice... and they dont take it.
They think that just an eBay core is ok... but its not. Usually the welds suck on the end tanks.. and they dont disperse heat at all. Buschur did a test recently... between a large eBay core... and their race core... at the end of one run the Buschur core was at like 60 degrees... and the eBay core was over 100....... slight problem wouldnt you say?
