I have the phase 2 kit with around 285rwkw, and I noticed the other day oil coming out from around the hoses on the intercooler piping... I know this is blow by and not overly concerning, but just wondering if anyone else is noticing this on their mod'd T's???

I currently have Mobil full synthetic in it which is 5 - 35 and I think it is too lighter oil for turbo cars, so this may be attributing to the problem...

Id definitely consider a thicker oil if it becomes a bigger problem. What may get concerning is not what you can see and find, but where else it is sitting where it shouldnt be...out of sight.

id be running a 10-30 oil..

If your getting blow by then it will be affecting your performance by reducing oxygen levels in the intake. Maybe considering an oil catch can would be a good idea. Not sure if anyone else on the forum runs one.

I used to run a home made one on a car I used to have. Amazing how much it used to catch. I cant remember how I made it, but it may have involved a 1.25litre bottle or similar, with a bunch of chicken wire inside it (ok, so was a low cost alternative, but it worked!).

Was about 15 years ago and detail is a little blurry...

Could be a sign your rings are getting tired and of course it could also be attributed to the oil your using. If the blow by gets worst that's definitely time for a leak down test and fingers crossed. It might be worthwhile to check the intercooler and see if theirs a build up of oil inside the core
