So i was driving home tonight from my girlfriends house when i noticed my car couldnt even hit 2 lbs of boost, so im like I get home and notice my car has a huge oil leak so i check my dipstick and i have 0 oil. So i almost blew my motor and i cant figure out where the leak is coming from please help!

 

Well that sucks, did you get under and look? Do you have an oil cooler?

 

i did get under and look and couldnt find any oil coming from the block. Nor any where else I looked and i do not have an oil cooler.

 

what kinda FI do you have? looks like maybe the oil line to it blew.

 

whats what im thinking, what boost were you running at before? Did you feel or hear anything, or just suddenly realized no boost?

 

im running aps st. i was running about 9 lbs b4 and no i couldnt tell any thing was wrong until my car wouldnt spool past 2 lbs. car sounds fine just no boost.

 

oil seal on turbo? leaking externally? any smoke out the exhaust? define "no oil"..that may have spun your bearings...hopefully you weren't that low...and hopefully you didn't drive that far

good luck

-TODD

 

same scenario with the aps single kit.

id be willing to bet that the oil is coming from the bottom IC coupler, mine does it every few months, i have to take it off and drain my intercooler, dont know where the hell it comes from because the inlet tube is dry and so is the upper tube. what happened is the coupler got oil on it, became slick and popped off, thats why you cant make boost. is it dripping from right above your cup in that pic, if so, thats it.

the dipstick is probably just low from having the aps oilpan, mine is barely visible on my stick.

 

i think tig just solved the puzzle. Yes the cup is right there because it leaks out from my bumper. So is this an easy fix i could do? or should i tow it to GT Motorsports.

 

that happened to me too

 

so how did you fix it sugar?

 

i didnt, Sam fixed it. Call GT back and talk with Sam. sorry i cant be more help.

 

Sam is going to SEMA and i can't get a hold of that man! yay more down time for my car

 

welcome to the fun world of FI.

 

nvm he just called me back, got to get a new coupler, hurray! The car should be safe to drive right?

 

the coupler isnt gonna fix the oil. i bought a longer heavier coupler with stronger tbolt clamps to get a good lock on it. its a weird angle.

do you have the electonic oil solenoid or the bypass valve.

 

Welcome to the fun world of aps st is a better way to put it. Tig is right on the money, did Sam install a electronic soleniod on the oil line? The design of the aps st is flawed imho with teh way the scavenger pump is set up. Oil builds in the turbo and blows up the charge pipe and sits in the IC.

 

I wouldnt drive it to far. If the couple pops off completly you"ll be sucking air with no filter.

 

i have no idea

 

look under the car near the oil filter, go to the a-p-s website and look for pics of the solenoid and valve.
