Cool

No, unless there is "copious" amounts of oil in there. It is part of the engine "re breathing" system, so it does get a slight coating. Plus, if it was anywhere near serious, you would of noticed a blue smokey exhaust long ago.
Simply clean off what you can and pat it on the intercoler, its not doing anything wrong, dont panic.

Hi Borich. Question. Why did you want to change the Forge? Was it knackered? I'm trying to work out which DV to buy and was leaning towards the Forge.

Cheers, Rob
