Unhappy Evo oil mixed with antifreeze coolant

I've been having problems with my intercooler tubings because they keep popping off and going back and forth. If i give it some gas, I can't seem to go pass 4k rpm w/out it popping off. (both intercooler tubings and throttle body one too) Now i have black sludge(oilish) in my antifreeze coolant and i think i have some oil in my antifreeze but no antifreeze in my oil. I was thinking it was the head gasket but not sure. So whats wrong with it.

The intercooler piping clamps need to be tightened with a ratchet and socket. A screw driver will not get it tight enough. Also make sure the clamp is beyond the bead of the piping/throttle body.
As far as the oil/coolant mix; like mcjonnyp said, possible head gasket.

If your oil mixed with the coolant stop driving the car and have it towed to a shop. It might only need a new headgasket and resurface the head. Hopefuly you caught it in time and there's no other damage.

Angry

yea i think thats my best bet, to tow it to a shop and get it fully flushed. Oil, antifreeze/ & coolant. But it still runs fine before i found out the oil in the coolant. The only thing wrong was (not the throttle body tubing) the tubing from the intercooler to under the car. You know how from the intercooler up to the intake? i mean the other side. That tubing keeps popping off. I think it is by the turbo. If i try new, long, durable tubings, then test it out, after the flush?

do not drive the car!!

you keep blowing off the hoses which implies that you have a nasty boost spike, and as a result you have most likely blown a head gasket or worse.

you need to do a compression check and leak down check ASAP. when you pull the plugs, look for damage on the plug.

If you have any sign of damage at all, bend over...

wow. If ur not busy why dont u take the valve cover off and check the torque on ur studs... inspect where the head meets the block. its not that hard of a job to replace ur headgasket and will save u lots of money. Also switch to tbolt clamps for ur ic hoses

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ow-tank-2.html you check this out yet tommy? even though I'm still gona say your head gaskets the best bet. It COULD be something else since you don't have any coolant in your oil you say, but you HAVE lost coolant right? also anything but replacing the HG right now just seems to be risking too much. BTW, what do they mean when they say the 1x1 headstuds are probably causing the problem?

..

as far as the tubing popping off i would buy a good set of t-bolt camps and replace every clamp on you pluming with them.
