not always the case,my intercooler had a small drill hole in the bottom to clear any oil from a blown engine,still runs fine
But are/were you running KE jetronic. As much as leaving the mixture screw uncovered can have dramatic effects on the running of the car, not to mention the extra fuelling needed to get the mixture right.........
Sorry to have to say it but whoever drilled a hole in the intercooler obviously isn't the worlds deepest thinker.

still on kjet and i think AVA know a little more than you about rs turbo's tbh mate,they wouldnt have done it if it was gonna have any affect on the running of the car, alan has forgot more than you know
your point was it wont run if any air leaks,i said not always the case as mine ran fine with a pinprick hole in the i/c,also i know a very respected tuner on this board that did exact same with an i/c,but what does he know

still its better havin oil in the cooler and it misfiring like a coont,aint it
