But at least you have what you need already.

Somewhere.



Probably.

Well I wasn't expecting this!, started removing the IC and airbox and found this clean oil in the bottom of the airbox....how the hell did it get there??.

Turbo inlet looks dry & clean.

Also found these today, bought them from a forum vendor/member several years ago....should I use these and somehow adapt to 25mm hose?.

If the oil in your airbox is engine oil, and not airfilter oil from a K&N or Unifilter, then is suggests that you have excessive blowby.

Those adaptors appear to be to fit a smaller hose to the Provent, which is not what you need. Best to use the 25mm hose which fits the Provent directly. But as you know, you will need a new PCV on your valve cover.

Yep thanks mate, my son has a clever fabricator mate coming around on Sunday to have a nosy.
The air filter used by the guys who fitted the new turbo and dyno tuned it is a Ryco A1358RP.

Apologies for the delay in replies, i'm not on here much these days unfortunately.
A couple of questiois have been asked above and the time frame (kilometer wise) between the unusual smoke and oil splatter culminating in the UFI 18G turbo being cactus (8th April 2022)
AND the new turbo being fitted with the same results is only 7000 kilometers on road only (16th Dec 2023), towing the odd trailer and no 4wding.

That is an oiled filter according to what I have just read, like a Uifilter, so it has oil in it. If it has been oiled too much then it will drain back into your airbox. Common problem. The oil used on the filter SHOULD be different to engine oil.

Cheers...that sounds feasible, i'll sort the Provent and put in a new filter and take it from there, I appreciate all your input mate!

Update, I get the Safari back this weekend...my son's mate has modified everything to accommodate 25mm piping from the rocker cover breather to the Provent and in turn to the pre turbo inlet.

I'll post pics and obviously the first task will be to do an easy open road trip away to test for oil splatter out the back etc.

By all counts the rocker cover oem outlet was gunked up with carbon as well.

What happened to the lid of the Provent???

Nice bit of melt art there.

Pretty coloured hose. I used to use Ortac hose everywhere on boats until i found out its only for 88C. It goes hard and stiff in engine rooms very quickly. For that application i use single fabric braid hydraulic drain hose its much higher temp and doesn't go hard. Some hyd shops call it drum pump hose.

Ok, so you know those high output lamps with the single filament bulbs and wire prongs over the glass?, one of them fell over when I was doing something under the bonnet a few years ago.
I've now got LED lamps lol.

Lucky it’s not a petrol engine then hey 😳
