Default Aps ??

I need you APS guys to help me on a ?,I removed the hose going to the intercooler,because I could not pull the inlet hose off,the reason was to check for oil,I did find a small amount of oil in the hose,is this ok or is the seals bad,the turbos have less than 2000 miles on them.I stuck my finger inside the turbo chamber and could not seem to find any oil.I posted a previous thread as to why I'm doing all this researching,any help would be greatly appreciated.

I notice a very small amount of oil in some of my couplers and don't think its a big deal.

Donnie, Chris will probably tell you the same thing I did about the smoking and oil dripping from the bottom of the turbos. The tubowerx scavenger pump took care of mine and other aps users.

Yep! The turbowerx was one of the first modifications I did to the APS kit. I didn't have any oil dripping, but I did have a huge smoking issue. Not anymore.....
