All the turbo outlets point downwards so there wouldnt really be anywhere for the oil to it which is why it sits in the intercooler as its the lowest point.

Or the turbo was fine!  :wink:

Well yet again, everyone said to put the K03 back on, but you ignored that and put another K04 on.
So back to square one again.
Why you continue to ask for everyones ideas on here  is beyond me, as you just ignore them and do what you see fit anyway, so whats the point of asking  :popcornsoda: :popcornsoda:

Whats the difference not much? If i put a k03 on i still have to get that changed again for k04 when it comes to upgrading? Now i can just sell the other k04 off and the only loss was labour?

You still dont know if it has been solved or not, I need to take it for a drive and see if the engine oil still drops if it does then its back to square 1, Smoke will still be there for a while am sure

Now your non the wiser like I said you would be. You have to get it mapped for that turbo. Had you gone ko3 diagnosis would be easier.

I want to get it mapped though? Of course I need to

So you spend x on getting it mapped, to which they cant map it due to problems x, y and z. Wasted money.

You ask whats could be the issue with your car now? possibly the map.


Had you gone ko3, maps not the issue, turbos fine, injectors are not causing it, all the pipes you changed dv relocation kit isnt to blame. Leaves a smaller area to troubleshoot.

Its all IMO. My job is based on Systematically resolving complex issues and to me this is all backwards  :signLOL:

Fingers crossed how ever after a few miles all your problems are sorted and a map gets you back on your feet.

Yeah but what if everything just goes fine after a few miles then that's success it's a gamble really, yeah your right I could have put everything back on again but what if the fault is still there? That would mean I would have to revert back to k04 setup ALL over again including what ever needs fixing on top and at this moment I can easily sell of the k04 as a faulty one if this new turbo solves the problem, just got to drive and see now

If you had gone back to ko3 and issue was still there you would have eliminated a great deal of possible causes.

I understand your thinking with another K04 but to me % wise you have a better chance of a resolution with a standard (or where you started) situation rather than spending money on more items that originally caused the issue.

Only way to be sure now is having a map put on it, which could be a waste of money on your part and time on the tuners part.

i.e if i mapped my car and it was making noises, i wouldn't replace the fuel pump because i think that's the issue, id remove the map and log the car.

Either way is a option just imo you had a better chance of a resolution going the opposite way.

So was this the reason why you changed the engine because your Oil light was lit?.
