ej22 turbo, smoking cause?

[Tinobag]

Hey guys I just recently turboed my ej22 AMD I'm having a lot of trouble with the car smoking. Whenever I check the intercooler pipes there is a lot of standing oil in them. Any ideas on where it could be coming from? Could the IACV be pulling too much vacuum and pulling oil out of the heads? Pics up shortly.

3 things spring to mind, a bad turbo inducer seal (fairly likely), a bad pcv valve (possible but not likely), broken ring land (fairly likely).

also the IACV doesnt 'pull' vac. it regulates it more than anything. depending on how you plumbed it in, it shouldnt be plumbed to the pcv.
the pcv lines and the IACV should be plumbed pre-turbo inducer. the amount of vacuum there is pretty minimal.
so unless you have the pcv lines going directly to the iacv the answer is no.

Possibly blown oil seals/bearing in the turbo. Might need a rebuilt

Woops! I meant to put down PCV not IACV. Any idea how to check the PCV?

Its not comon for them to have problems especially noticable smoke. If you want to check it;
Under the trottle body is at fitting that threads into the intake manifold. Remove it shake it next to your ear. If it rattles its probably ok. They are tough to test. But they dont go bad very often. Its WAY more comon to have a bad turbo seal. Especially if you have oil in the intercooler. Oil in the intercooler pretty much seals the deal on turbo seal. It is possible that the piston is broken. But i would put money on a turbo

Yeah. I think its the turbo. Just got a lot worse today... ugh...
