Hi,

In the boost line that goes from the manifold to the ALDA, I have some oil in the line. The thing is, the line is translucent and white from the banjo to the valve, and then after the valve, it is still translucent white until near the ALDA, where it gets yellowish then brownish, then black, as if full of oil.
I know boost gets out of the manifold to the valve, as thats where my boost gauge is teed in.

WHat might this be indicative of? After driving a nearly identical 300D as mine, I have found that it had a lot more power (not that mine is a slug in any way), and so have to wonder if maybe my ALDA is shot or something...

Any help would be great.
Thanks,

JMH
