Mike Hall 10 Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Hi, from what I can tell my g60 is fitted with an outlet dome from a g40. Does anyone know if there's any issues with this as I've not seen it done before. It's also been rotated upwards and I've noticed a pooling of oil in the bottom. Is there a chance the pooling is due to the outlet pointing upwards or is it likely early charger failure? Thanks Edited May 23, 2016 by Mike Hall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16VG60 1 Posted May 23, 2016 The outlet is potentially somewhat restrictive for a G60. With regard to "pooling of oil" being evident this is not desirable and is indicative of oil seal wear, furthermore, if oil is allowed to accumulate in this way it could equally gather inside the charger and cause drag upon the displacer. This drag will cause additional strain upon the synchronising belt, which will fail under such load, causing catastrophic failure of your supercharger. If you wish to discuss any of this further or possible resolve to any aspect, I would be happy to hear from you.

Mike Hall 10 Posted May 25, 2016 Hi, thanks for your reply. I decided to remove the other induction pipes to inspect them and they all had a large amount of oil pooling in them so I'm going to stop driving the car untill I can get the charger rebuilt and i can replace the outlet.
