should my turbo look like this @ the inlet?
Took the air filter and utube off for valve adjustment. My turbo has always looked like this at the inlet, nothing new. But I figured Id take a few pics for advice...
Will having oil at the inlet be bad for turbo life? Is it a sign of somethign bad for my engine? I run delvac 1 5w-40, the car has 223k on it, and I get 30 mpg. Seems fine to me, buit I want to be sure it stays that way. Thanks, JMH

How much play is there if you reach down and grab it in the center and move up and down? Just out of curiosity..

That ain't nothing! Mine was worse when I took it off. As long as there is no play in the shaft you're OK.
