Mack Air Compressor Excessive Carbon

Customer says excessive carbon builds up, stops up governor, dryer, etc. I just checked cooling lines and they seem to be unrestricted. Air supply to breather seems ok but has oil residue in it. This line feeds off air filter hose between turbo and air filter housing. Wabco compressor and looks as though everything I see air related has been changed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It's really strange design. Even new air filter element has some restriction and turbo will suck some crank case gases thru air compressor. Disconnect it and put suitable K&N filter just for air compressor. Don't forget to plug the hole in air intake hose.
