Hi guys whats happening? Long story short charger was leaking oil last year so sent it back to comptech. they said it was busted so I had to buy a new turbine from paxton so I did. Put the new one in and it started leaking agiain. Got ahold of comptech and they said I need to put a valve reducer on so i did. Oil stoppped leaking again for quite some time. Last week my enine oil light came on breifly so I popped the hood and looked in the air intake filter bos and sure as hell there was a nice littlepool of oil about the sice of a little white spot burger. So i pulled off the hose that is connected to the turbine and what do you know there is oil going back into the turbine again. Any suggestions guys? I have no idea what would be causing this now

 

red01, Last November I had a Comptech S/C & I/C installed on my stock 02 AP1. I have put about 3,000 miles on the car since then including running the car at Texas World Speedway (about 210 miles track time) at The Driver's Edge event. I found out recently that there was oil in the intake tubes on both sides of the supercharger. I read that this could be caused by the stock PVC valve. So I removed the valve and found it defective. This was allowing boost pressure in the intake manifold to get past the PVC valve and under the valve cover and blow air/oil back into the intake system (through crank vent tube) between the supercharger and the air filter. I just put a new PVC valve in the car yesterday, but have not had time to drive it yet. I don't know if this will solve my oiling problem, but you may want to check your PVC valve.

KrankVents will take the pressure off the PCV Valve.

 

 

WEll I replaced the pvc valve and everything was ok I thought till my sevice light came on. I popped my hood and wouldn't you know it? not only is it leaking again but oil has been shot up all under the inside of my hood and the oil dipstick had actually come out of its spot. I mean there is oil everywhere. In the icebox, every hose, in the charger everywhere and I think there is some serious damage.

To make things better I payed 1500.00 for the replacement from paxton threw comptech 2 years ago and look at that comptech is out of business and they have the packing slip so I have no proof of sale to return it to paxton. Any ideas on how I should go about this one? any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
