Ime, those numbers are a bit low (depending on exactly how you did the compression test, and the calibration of your gauge)...which could mean a slightly elevated amount of blowby. How many miles are on your engine? Has it always had regular oil changes with full synthetic motor oil?

Again, I'd suggest you install a catch-can and see if that reduces the oil in the intercooler pipes.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
