Is there any way to check to see how much oil actually passed through to the intercoolers and can they be cleaned? I mean, can I take the intercoolers off and hose'em out behind the shed?

you can pull them and flush with acetone to get rid of any oil residue. Just seal one end, add acetone to the other open end, slosh around and then drain out. Repeat as needed-I wouldn't expect there to be too much in there but I have been surprised by other cars.

I've had the unfortunate experience of having to rinse out several different intercoolers over the years. Brake Clean, Acetone, Hot water with some dish detergent, or any combination will do the job. Patience and thoroughness is your friend. If you go the hot water route, dry it out with a shop-vac in reverse.

I ordered. So this is only required on passenger side, correct?

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. We have a storm coming on Sunday/Monday so there may be a delay in getting them, but we have them in stock.

Under high load crankcase vacuum is transitioned to the passenger side turbo inlet. The driver side inlet does not have this feature.

The way it is designed from the factory, it’s setup to recirculate the oil vapors back into the intake tract (probably to reduce emissions and Increase fuel economy). This kit will isolate the vapors to a separate tank for accumulation which can then be drained once it accumulates enough oil.

We had a shipping delay as we had some material deliveries get pushed back (Covid sucks!), but all open order have not been shipped!
Thank you for the orders everyone I really appreciate it!
