HELP! Is my turbo bad?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17361/dcp00975.jpg"></center><p>I just installed new BPVs when I noticed this. The passenger's side was nice and clean but the drive's side had quite a bit of oil in it. Does this mean my turbo is F**cked?

nothing wrong with your turbo buddy.... (more inside)
on the S4 engines the crank case pressure is vented to one side of the intake hose.
this is perfectly normal to have oil like this in the system it is required to vent this back in the system so we can burn this gas generated in the crank case.
Happy motoring
HAPPY THANKS GIVING!!!

Now you got me freaked out.....
When they looked at my car, the wastegate arm on the passenger side was bad, but the real issue was that when the tech looked into the hose from the turbo to the IC on the DRIVERS side, there was a LOT of oil. Dripping out in fact. This was what they based the decision that the drivers side turbo was blown. I HOPE that this was in fact true, and NOT just blow-by (even excessive), and I went thru all this **** for NOTHING....
Now I gotta call them to ask this question. sheeesh.
