Ok so today i went over a buddies house and we were putting on my CAI and we noticed this weird contraption, take a look below

so this little device if thats what you want to call it is hooked to the WGA bar and the other end is hooked to a spring that is hooked to the battery tray. I'm guessing this is a poor mans way to make more boost??? i am not sure since i am sort of a newb when it comes to turbos.

Another question, while we were doing the CAI install i noticed there was some oil coming out of the turbo. looks like there was oil in the stock air box as well. I'm guessing this means i need to rebuild the turbo or ??? please advise me

yes, its a spring mod. take it off. it makes the car run like shit most of the time. also the oil is fine. neons just run on oil.

Remove the spring... the spring mod works for about 5 minutes.

You will see oil in the turbo inlet as a result of blow by from the pcv valve, you will also find oil in the hotside pipe if you ever pull that off the intercooler. Its normal, get a catch can and it should fix the problem
