sts kit failure? not sure whats going on just yet, but just pulled this in
to find this under it
and its shooting alot of this out the down pipe off the turbo
complaint....puking oil out of the tail pipe....
pulling plugs in the am to see if it hasnt lost a cylinder...but im wondering if the oil pump stopped working in the rear..not sure on that, havent messed with to many of these kits..
does the oil pump run all the time or no?

no, the only time the oil pump runs is when the car is on 
so ya, it should be on when ever the car is running. there is always oil going back to the turbo so it always needs to get pumped back to the motor.

thought it was odd to have the oil returning to the fill cap...but ok. and the pressure sensor in the pcv hose is for what?
(i havent messed with a lot of rear mount turbos, but i have a idea for a self contained oiling system for them..lol)
and im sure if the pump has failed, the turbo is hosed now? anyone want to buy a sts kit..lol(seriously )
Mine did the same thing i would honestly check that $14 check valve before i scrapped the kit all together. just my .02
But then again if you dont hear it running with the car on thats really weird...

well i found it was a used kit..... the owner wants it removed period tho...i guess the kit has gave him nothing but problems. i'll see what all is wrong with the kit, and go from there. if its repairable, i'll fix it then remove it
no heat wrap, no silicone spray... oil pump isnt working... seems like the owner is kinda left in the dark.. wouldnt doubt the tune isn't that good either.
I'm sure the kit is just fine, just needs a new oil scavenge pump.

does it spew out the liquid while it's idling after a cold start? or does it spew it out all the time?
mine spews out oily/water while idling after a cold start and goes away when the motor starts warming up

dumps oil all the time...leaks off the v bands over night so on.
i figured they would need a resistor...but i dont think the pump is working either.
any part number or link on these check valves?

sounds like the owner didn't know what the heck he was getting into. Matter of fact why isn't he on here? I agree check the fuse, relays and if need be replace that part. Is this the reason people get rid of the kit? Anywayz WTF is going on with the buzzer is it sounding or not?
Compression bent piping, exhaust pipe coupling with exhaust clamps, charge pipe almost on the ground, etc.... dying to see how the rest of it is set up. This is why rear mounts are deemed a POS from the start, somebody "throwing" crap together and expecting results. I'm embarassed for the guy.

does this car lose or rather go through a lot of oil? Because now I would say that the oil hasn't been returning at all and just puddling in the turbo. How long has this been happening?

since day 1
when was day 1? It already look like it is dripping from the turbo seal you would give a sponsor a call to talk about that as for everything else it's cheap to fix. And if you are not hearing a buzzer or the oil pump then someone hooked something up wrong. Are you at least hearing it prime when you turn the key?
