I have oil in my intake pipes, throttle body and UIM. The car was just smoking from the hood and the temps were not high.

The car had no power! Damn what do I do? Please help. Does this mean the turbos are done or the cats? The exhaust sounded really muffled but I guess it will be the turbos

It has no power and goes to like 4K rpm before it will go any where. It even sounds like its not producing any power. I know its not the clutch. It gotta be something with the turbos or exhaust. Wouldn't the turboes leak oil into the intake system if they are bad?

I took the intake pipes off and cleaned them out now the next day I have oil in them again. I know this because now there is oil blowing off out of the BOV which I located right after the IC before the intake pipe.

Did you do a compressiojn test?

The oil in the intake is most likely just blow by from the turbos.

But if you are not getting any power out ofg the car and you say its getting worse.

You'd do best to do a compression test and see what is up.
