Well today I was changing my oil, and having installed my downpipe about a week ago I did a follow up to see how everything was looking. All the turbo studs were tight, everything looked good. Then I glanced under the turbo and in between where the two portions of the turbo connect (intake/exhaust) there was a couple drops of oil. Barely enough to form droplets, I only knew it was dripping because there was 3 drops on some nearby tubes below. Not sure what this is from, or how to fix it... I was thinking maybe its from experimenting with AP maps or the car trying to hold 21 PSI while on the stock map.. Maybe too much pressure forced a tiny amount of oil through a gasket ? I've found the right AP map and everything is going ok, I will continue checking my oil levels and put the car on a lift again in a couple days... Anyone else had this type of problem ?
