Oil in your intake should be blow-by but could also be a toasty turbo. Check to see if there is oil also in your down pipe, if so check the turbo. (almost would have to be considering your "lag but no boost problem" if there were no oil it could be other things.)

First, check your PCV valve or take off the oil cap with engine running. If theres a lot of smoke then check compression.

I would think from my experience that its either a slightly blown headgasket, your rings need replacing or it could be your valve guides.

Valve guides if the smoke only appears when you decelerate then step on it.

Hope that helps.

Check all your vacuum lines. Does your wastegate open ? What kinda EGTs are you getting when you get "lag and no boost" ? What does your a/f gauge do when you romp on it and hit the "lag" ? Give us some information, someone will be able to help you out. If it's burning a lot of oil, do a compression test to see if it's your rings. If your compression is within spec, it's probably the turbo oil seals.

ok guys thanks for all the help.. i have full compression in all cylindars, i also have oil in the downpipe.. and i also get a lot of smoke when i open the oil fill cap.. but i have full compression in all cylendars so i dont think that the seals are bad..i dont have an a/f guage so i dunno what its getting..

4045, What!!

No Air/fuel Guage! Dude that is like a must along with EGT and Fuel preasure. As for you probs, I need a little more info on what? and when? this started to happen along with the miles on your motor? and turbo?. What kit it is? and does your turbo shaft have some play? What were you compresion figures? What are your mods(S-AFC/injectors/MSD or Crane Ignition)if any?
Just give us as much info to help you cause it is hard not actualy seeing or hearing whats goeing on.
SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!!MWC
