Apparently I can't figure out how to do a proper boost leak test (BLT).
I did it at the turbo, and the pressure is going into the oil pan with a bubbling sound. Hot or cold engine, doesn't matter. Read if the bubbling was the case you should do it at the throttle body. So test there (with plugging up the other end of the pipe I pulled off), and now it's coming out of the turbine inlet, am I supposed to plug this off too? Is it just a turbo sealing issue? I didn't think a BLT would be this hard. This is all with a stock 14b turbo that was rebuilt about 30k miles ago by a turbo shop.
I know the bubbling issue wouldn't be the best thing, but I am running a remote oil cooler and that extra oil drains back into the pan when off for a while. If you check the oil just after shutting off the car, it's at the correct level on the dipstick, but will go up if you let it sit for a while.
