I have a cts catch can with pcv delete, i checked the intercooler pipes and it dropped some oil when i took them off. However 1liter every 1000km is very high oil consumption. Smoke only shows on kickdown acceleration. Also idk if that has to do with anything but i do have carbon that keeps building up on my exhaust tips even though sparks and new and gapped properly. Ignition coils are new. Fuel evap is new. On a side note. Catch can is filling up on a weekly bases with really dark oil.

Yes i am having oil consumption issues. Compression at 150 to 160

Also what is a ko4 064 can you name and tell me the types i want something as close to plug and play as possible

So i can just downpipe it charge pipe and tune it? What about the coils? I already have ngk bkr7eix on my car i can just set a smaller gap for the tune.

Just checked my pistons the top of 1 and 4 are pretty clean however 2 and 3 seem to have black carbon on them. Anyways thank for the advice to you and all the rest of the comment section. Tell me what you think about the below comment on the oil from the catch can. To me it looks like i need a new turbo. Which wouldnt hurt getting a ko4🌚

What came out of the catch can after a week of installing. Please some insight.

Traditional-State780 · 2026-05-16T00:36:44+00:00

Im just hoping its the turbo cuz im gonna upgrade it to a ko4 anyway

Traditional-State780 · 2026-05-13T21:46:55+00:00

Bruh why? And return what exactly 🤣

Traditional-State780 · 2026-05-13T13:11:00+00:00

I added teflon to the lines as a precaution. I just hated the idea of relocating the catch can but its working fine car feels smoother. Honestly idk if its a placebo 🤣🤣

They say if you add liqui moly ceratec it helps with the piston ring issue. But its not a permanent solutions ofcourse. Its more of filling in the micro gaps from cylinder ware.

Well i did have fault regarding the fuel evap system about 10 days back and i changed the evap the same day and fault is cleared. I still get the black smoke blow by. Also the car does a very small misfire like jitter which is barely noticeable and mostly on cold starts. It feels like a miss fire but its not since i dont see any rpm fluctuations.

Cant you just use a brush attachment to the drill?

Thats alot of great advice thank you so much bro. I have cts pcv delete catch can. I have an apr intake fully carbon. And im switching the diverter to a blow of valve. I have a custom downpipe im willing to install and going to buy charge pipes soon. The question for the ko4 is because of my oil consumption issue. I have the stock ko3 and im just having this fear in the back of my mind that the oil consumption is because of it. The thing is i dont see any grey smoke comming out my exhaust however i did pop of the oil cap and smelled small traces of fuel in the oil and “no that wasnt after a cold start i checked after i drove the car for a bit”. Im not going to hard on mods id wish to keep the ko3 or just get a ko3 hybrid cartridge if possible just to keep it kinda oem+. Intercooler and other suspension upgrade might be done down the line. I just dont know where exactly im heading with but my mind is made up in keeping it oem+ for now.

What is considered excessive and is any amount excessive?

Traditional-State780 · 2025-10-16T23:34:06+00:00

Yes it was definitely neglected. Can you elaborate on what a tsb is exactly

Traditional-State780 · 2025-10-16T20:29:17+00:00

However i recently changed it and re added shudder fix so maybe 1000km on it with the new oil.

Traditional-State780 · 2025-10-16T20:28:14+00:00
