Water in my intercooler!
Hi guys. So a couple of weeks ago the car would run really bad (lose power) at low and high throttle use. So i went exploring and found that there was a good deal of moisture (almost puddled water) in the inlet and outlet to the inter-cooler. So, i let it dry out thinking it was just a bad air filter. I haven't had any problems till today when it started doing the same thing.
Any thoughts on what it could be? Thanks. |

Your turbo's dying? It is a wet turbo so maybe a hairline crack in the housing?
I would check your hoses attached to your J-boot and see if you can find a source for the moisture as well. Good luck, Keith

Is it water or coolant?
Agreed with Keith.

So I was able to get a little out and found that its gas! Or, at least mostly gas. Any thoughts?

if so then you have a bad fuel damper or regulator, & gas is traveling through the vacuum system. Heard of it before but not seen it. Pull vacuum line at both & see if there's gas in it.

It happened to me, so it's a very real possibility. Check for gas smell in vacuum lines at the FPR and Damper, even if you don't see liquid.

Normal vacuum line smell/taste is oily, not fuel FYI.
