Re: Blue Smoke HELP

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but oil in your intercooler, usually means something was goofy with your turbo. Oil's not supposed to be in your intercooler, and could explain the smoke, as you couldve been burning oil from your blown turbo.

As for getting the oil out, just take the core off and clean it out. 10mins and a can of brake cleaner, and it will be good as new. You will wanna get that oil out, or else you might be chasing down a problem that doesn't exist anymore (by that I mean, if you're turbo WAS bad, and has since been fixed, you may still have the same symptoms).
