JF1GG29 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 My only issue now is a rough idle that wasn't present before the swap. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that a vacuum line got cracked or was popped off during the turbocharger replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DammyO Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'm going to take a wild guess and say that a vacuum line got cracked or was popped off during the turbocharger replacement. Bingo. Car is 100% better now. Should I still to 500 mile oil change even though there were no metal shavings in oil and the turbo already has 50k miles on it. Or should I stick to 3k OCI?

BoozeRS05 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 USED OIL ANALYSIS! Why this isn't recommended more I don't know. If you want to know whether the turbo allowed metal into the oil before disassembling a motor/oil pan, used oil analysis. If you want to know whether the motor is healthy after turbo break-in, used oil analysis. If you want to know whether your newly installed motor is ready to go to a regular oil change interval, used oil analysis. If you want to check yearly motor health, used oil analysis. Blackstone labs will perform such a service to the tune of $25. I'm pulling my yearly sample in about 1k miles.
