Team Doorhandle again?

Problem:- Oil pooling in the base of the intercooler.
Solution:- Drain hole in intercooler.
Problem:- Intercooler drain causes loss of boost.
Solution:- Drain intercooler via sensor, little boost loss because of boot
and the oil should leak away into the slipstream at high boost.

Yeah, sounds about right....:-)
