If your running the standard breather or an after market breather thats not vented to atmosphere/catchtank then oil in the intake hoses is normal.

Get it looked at by somone who will know for sure if in doubt, but not someone who will offer you a new Turbo before they even remove a pipe

Get it setup if the idle is low as this will cause premature engine wear with low oil pressure etc..

how would you fix this. reading the mags i think its fair to sair you know your way around an rs.

i looked at adjusting the cable by the adjuster on the TB but it was already wound out to the max. is it time for a new cable?

thanks

Would adjusting the idle screw on the right hand side of the throttle fuck up the 'setup' or will everything be ok

no it will effect the setup. I advise touching nothing if it is running. Just have it checked by a pro and not just a mate etc..

Its worth spending £50 for it to be setup than having an engine build instead.
