Oil on short ram Intake goin into turbo?

[Zabimaru]

Ok i decided to launch my car by my house to see how it pulls and then it boggs and dies on me. I pop the hood and the hose on my j-pipe( into the b16g turbo ) came off. I pushed my car to my house and then i had a better look at the car i notice there was grime or oil from my turbo outlet from the intake hose. Do you think my car is ok =[?

Seems like your turbo have a oil leak. Too much oil is bad and lightly wet oil is ok. This normaly happen to a ageing turbo. How old is your turbo? If the oil look fresh after you accelerate the car then the oil ring seal in the turbo is shot. If that happens it need to be rebuild soon or get you new turbo. If you have a good driving habbit you don't have to get it rebuild or buy you another unless the turbo is leaking oil very bad. In this case I'll buy me another one just in case the one I have now failed completely.

The oil your seeing in the turbo could be from bad seals, but chances are better that it is coming from your breather valve from the valve cover. If it not a bad turbo, simply installing a catch can like this
HUSKY 1/4 In. Air Compressor Filter - HDA70400AV at The Home Depot
... or just making your own.

Also an easy fix if you dont want to plumb in a catch can, you can just put a small breather or filter on it and plug the opening in the intake pipe.

I've been wondering about those, wouldn't oil just start dripping out of the filter?

Replace the pcv valve with a new mitsu one. Also put some sort of catch can or something in there. I'm running just a plastic fuel filter.

Also, what are you boosting too? Have a boost gauge? MBC?

Don't do that.
