Turbo Oil Smoke During Shift I know I have seen this problem before but I cant fine a definitive answer to why, or how to fix it. I have noticed that any time the car comes into boost as soon as I shift I get a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust, never during excel or really during decel just when I first take my foot off the gas.
All the info is on my sig. or in the build thread linked in my sig. But as of right now I dont have a PCV system to speak of, I mean the factory system is still on the car I already plan to put in push in breathers in the valve covers. Will that be enough or is there another oil drain issue that needs to be addressed?

Oh its a breather on the catch can with both valve covers vented to it plus my ls6 valley. My vac source is from my elbow on the vic jr. Sorry for the typo its one breather. But yeah its light puff only inbetween shifts. Car dosnet use a lick of oil since the pcv upgrade, But befor it would use 1 quart every 1k or more.

Verdad Gallardo you would think but actually it does it when you are off the throttle. If i drove mine over 4k rpm and let off it would start to smoke, and inbetween shifts. But if you put new seals in then that shouldnt be the problem. Do you have a check valve to keep from pressurizing the crankcase on one of your pcv hoses?

Right now I am thinking about just plugging the intake TB and running the valve covers to the catch can. Any help on this would be great!
