I am in the process of replacing my turbo.

My old turbo was blowing a little oil so now there is oil in my intercooler.

What is the best way to get this out?

Currently I have it standing on end draining into a tray. Is that enough? Can a radiator shop or something clean one? If not who can.

Thanks guys

I know I should use the search function more often. Thanks Tertarossa.

Seems like a lot of the oil do not come from the turbo but from the ventilation. I have a new, in-line, catch can that picks up significant amounts of oil.

Do you have any pics of your catch can setup?

I added a LR catch can to isolate the source of the oil and the catch can is dry after a year, but the hard pipes are coated in oil. So it's the turbo blowing past the seals. Just had it rebuilt 20K miles ago by majestic. Disappointing.

It's just a water separator for compressed air on the line between the AOS and a connection (used to be the rubber boot) before the turbo. I think it is wise to keep it in line and not as a dead end.
