Message	Out of no where my Z won't make boost, it starts to backfire when i get to positive boost, boost gauges flickers between 0-5 positive while backfires. I thought maybe a turbo had blown, pulled intake to plenum didnt seem to have any oil in them. Looked in plenum and saw some oil and sludge build up, but some is normal right? Took some pics to of the oil in plenum... Is that about normal looking? What else should i be looking at? (I had changed plugs almost 1 year ago and its been fine since so dont think it would be a gap problem) Car idles and runs fine until I boost. No codes.
