i keep blowing oil from my breather Well, whenever i start boosting, my car just starts squirting (not much, but more then enough) oil from where the breather is... then whole car starts to smoke, cuz it gets on my headers... my friend put a 'catch pan' or something with a pcv valve on his, so it catches the oil...
how do i exactly do this?
its a turbo lt1 btw, and my oil return line is by the oil filler...

Welcome to the club every one of use have had this problem, Change your setup before you get oil in the intake! I would post pics of what I have that works but I don't know if it will with my new setup!

Do you still have the stock PCV hooked up? If you do, that is why. You are pressurizing the crankcase, and the oil goes out the path of least resistance. You need to either vent the PCV (driver's side) and breather (passenger side) to atomosphere, route them into the intake side of your blower/turbo, or route them into a catch can. You then plug the ports on the intake and TB.

Kurt at W2W made the comment to me a couple of weeks ago that we are increasing the performance of the engine 2 or 3 times so we of course increase crankcase pressure.
I have been running a sole Metco breather on the passenger side, with the driver's side pcv system plumbed into the back of the passenger side. I plan to run dual breathers very soon. I found some new ones that have deflectors.
