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 Spud İRBM2006,aint it
To be fair i did choose the wrong words by saying it won't run, i had a problem with the first RS i had which involved a lot of cash and trial and error, and in the end was the mixture screw was covered with a piece of masking tape
, so it did remain running but sounded like it was miss-firing, so thats my error
And the hole in the intercooler, i assumed when you said hole it would be sizeable rather than a pin hole, so i agree it probably wouldn't make a noticeable difference to the running.
The one thing i would say though i cant see a pinhole being that effective at draining oil away.....?
