you prob have it hooked up wrong....its a pcv switch...

it basically vents your crank case when you are boosting....

and than when your under vac it switches back to the throttle body

read the instrustions it shows you where to put it and how to hook it up.

Mine seems to be pretty covered in oil. I've had mine on for over a year. Is it common to have so much oil on it?

It probably isn't hooked up right (as much of what was initially hooked up was done wrong), I wonder how I could see if it's even switching at the right times.

Did your buy your turbo from TRT? I did and I bought my custon grind cam that I'm installing this week too. I can't wait to see my car when it's all said and done. Our setups are extremely similar except you have an m6 and I have an auto. Even our times are close. My best was 12.69 @ 119 and a 12.7 @ 120. And you make about 40 more ft.lbs of torque.

If you look under the FI section you'll find more **** than you'll ever need to know about the PCV setup. I decided to put a check valve in , but I do remember reading how to check if your PCV is good. Wasn't looking for that information, so I just skipped over it. Sorry.

let me ask you this, the wire going to the switch valve, is it supposta be a hot wire at any point, an when you turn the key on is it supposta to come on for a split second.

That's a good question. And I'd be interested in knowing the answer to that.

The wire going to the switch valve is hot when you reach 1psi of boost. There is a pressure switch that is set at 1psi. When it sees 1psi, it will switch the switch valve and also turn the oil return pump on high.
