ok to start my intake turbo inlet broke since is so old the rubber broke while i was taking it out cuz i was checking the turbo for a small oil leak that i saw since them the car start running like crap since it was just touching the turbo and i guess the air was coming out

i went ahead today and i wanted to check my spark plugs and find out there is oil in there... which i dont think is normal.. but what could be the reason why is oil in there??

now i was looking at the "gasket in the middle" of the valve cover and it seen like is crack?? is that a gasket??

its more of a dirt cover, i removed mine when i did my headgasket, there are 4 plugs which seal some oil passages in the head so if you have blow by chances are its pushing oil out there or via the rocker covers

dealer item and when your at it... just change the plugs. Finding a good condition intake tube is quite hard. Just get a hard pipe one like the cooleez.

ok so this is the deal... after removing that black center part between the valve cover.. (what is it called???) i realized that it was crack and that probably where the oil is coming from i removed all the bolts and spark plugs and clean it all... now i need a new black center part.. can somebody tell me where to get it please thanks

Are you talking about the accordian hose? That one i just ordered yesterday for myself at the toyota here in NH. It was only $55.00. They have them on horsepowerfreaks.com also for $55.00 but you pay for shipping.

not unless you replace it with something else. it connects the turbo to the air flow meter without that connection the car will barely run if at all....

Ebay has a turbo inlet pipe similar to the accordian hose with all the necessary plugs. It's a bit pricey though.
