I pulled the hoses connecting the boost controller last night and there was large quantities of oil in the hoses. I then pulled the big hose on the intake side and there is a ton of oil in there. I know there is suppose to be oil on the intake side but is it suppose to be that much? I think the oil ...

I figure the fact that I don't hear the turbo spool up might be more descriptive than if I were to just say I wasn't gettting boost. BTW the turbo was just remaned last year. Ciper, where do you get your car serviced?

Rough idle

Got a 91 Legacy Turbo 5MT with 141K. The car drives fine but sometime while idling the rpm would just drop and start idling really roughly. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
