Default brown gunk in turbo pipe

hi all bought a new samco hose for between the turbo and when i took the old one off loads of light brown gunk came out its mainly coming from the metering unit but a little has worked up to the turbo. What causes this?

oil vapour returning to metering head via standard breather if your still running it. Most replace breather with baileys oil seperator and vent to atmosphere then block up the existing inlet on the metering unit.

Normal thing to find gunk in there, mine dripped oil out the last time I had the hose off!

if your running higher than normal boost (7psi+) on the standard breather its a common occurance.

A standard breather would look like this


where an uprated one would look like

shiny tank on right near that blue arrow
