[Biturbos4] Oil in boost tubes and intermittent misfires

[California Fields]

Single Malt,

I think a few misfires here and there are normal for the 2.7T engine (which 
idles a little roughly). However, to be sure, get a VAG tool and monitor 
blocks 015 and 015. These show live misfires at idle speed. 1-2 misfires is 
normal before the counter resets (after 30 seconds or so). I'm curious to 
see what you have. I'm trying to diagnose a cylinder 5 misfire that won't go 
away (50-60 misfires in each reset period).

Cal.
