First thing i have idle surgo 1500 area or idles high, if i unplug the maf it idles perfect, i changed the maf with another one and it has the same sympthoms! Kinda lost and that subject.

Also my bov is shooting oil out of it, blown turbo? oil seal? questionable. Sputters at high rpms and doesnt really pull to hard anymore.
 
spitting out oil....... did you have a bad turbo on before?? i think you have oil in your intercooler ...... take it off and clean it out, idle surge ....check your isc and tps.....hope my lil info helps
 
x2^ also check for leaks maybe that's the reason your sputtering at high rpm, if no leaks check your maf. put a t pin into the input wire (forgot what color it was) you should read anywhere from 6-9 volts at 2000rpm, since you said you changed your maf there might be a chance it could be the connector is faulty. My maf was bad and it was sputtering at high rpm as well just as soon as the turbo spooled. It read .9 volts when I checked mine.

As for the oil I agree with tsi4g63dohc. Good luck man let us know what happens!
 
Well the car didn't run for about a year so could be oil in intercooler. The turbo is definitely screwed it doesn't have the type of power anymore. That's why I beleive the turbo is on it's way out. It actually stopped spitting oil. I son beleive there is any leaks. I will check tho and the sensors. Thanks alot for the info!
 
When I pulled the intercooler out of my GSX... I could litteraly pour small streams of oil out of it. Well.. not oil... more of a mix of that, moisture, and grim from someone driving it and abusing it.

Make sure to take off ALL of the intake piping and give it a good cleaning. Scrub, clean, scrub, clean.

Check for Vacuum leaks.

Sounds more like your engine is starving for air...
 
So I cleaned my intercooler today turns out their was about a quart of oil in the cooler I cleaned it with starter Fluid dried it out and blew it with a electric blower and it made a huge difference. Car runs alot healthier! Thanks guys Now I have a question I went to put on my Megan oil press gauge and sending unit was not fitting Right into where the old sender was. Anyone have this problem? It goes on but gets tight as soon as I get it on.
