still fighting that oil issue....
root cause appears the motor makes high oil pressure (good for motor, bad for turbo I suppose)

thats typically frowned upon on the thumpers due to oil volume requirements
I think I know the underlyingproblem. I need to do what I was going to do originally and engineer a catch tank. Sometimes you can't put off the inevitable I did some research and it appears at high pressures, the turbo can flow 3.5 gal/min oil and my pump can only pull 3 gal/min.

On a bad note...was trying some transbrake tests in the driveway yesterday and it was having big problems spooling. After diagnosing the issue, a freaking jesel rocker arm broke
so I'll be down until they can get me a replacement
