can anyone explain why... 900

on my 945t....

I take off the hoses between the turbo and the intercooler and clean them out...and the damn thing turns into a monster...i.e. it goes..and i do mean goes...


then within a few weeks its back to being just ok....

I think i have a bit of an issue with turbo seals..i seem to get a reasonable coating of oil in the hoses...nothing bad just well coated and drips round the joints...i am guessing its using about a litre of oil a thousand miles (guessing because i havent done that many miles since i stoppedthe various oil leaks - i.e. cleaned flame trap/new breather box (stoped oil leak above water pump) replaced seal on oil filler (stoped leak from filler) replaced oil cooler (stoped oil RIVER from cooler)

its not that i mind the performance difference..i am just a little puzzled i just cant see why taking off the silicon hose, the metal tube and the ruber hose, washing them and re-attaching should make a difference - they were all tight before they came off and its happened twice now...

and yes i have carefully inspected them for leaks - talking of which isnt the flame trap mini hopse from the manafold a 'leak' loosing me turbo boost?
