Morning everyone!
I have a topic I thought I'd bring here just to see what your thoughts are.
Question: Does diverting the breather from the intake to atmosphere damage the Turbo?
I've put the question in short above ^^^ for those of you who don't want to read, but here is my explanation.
When my Turbo went 2 days ago, the AA recovery bloke saw my diverted rocker breaher and said that was the cause because that lubricates the Turbo. To which I replied, "That's what the oil lines to it are for" he didn't like that and said the breather has oil vaper from it that lubricates the buts the oil can't get.
To me that's rubbish, I work with machines that have all of their breathers vented outside, and also there are plenty of newer engines that have no breathers vented into the intake. They do it nowadays for the emisions to reburn the oil vaper... Right?
To be any vaper that goes into that Turbo will be burnt before it can do any lubricating.
So what are your thoughts on this? Have I and many other people including manufacturers been wrong all these years and this bloke is right or is he talking rubbish?
I'm hoping this will be a good interesting thread!
