Yeeeaaa, I know. From what he's saying though, sounds like his turbo doesnt really have anything to do with his issues right now. Sounds like his motor just happened to get hurt after his turbo install. Turbo was puttin in so much work, it crippled his motor.

I got the motor used, from a friend. I know it doesn't have alot of miles. But it is what it is, ran great for a while. It should have been good to go for a long time though.
I have large lines from both valve covers to my catch can too. Is that what you are asking?
Also it seems to burn crazy oil at hot idle. Going down the road seems fine??? I'm thinking it's a ring issue. But I will leak down test it Wednesday night.

All around the filter on top of my catch can, like crank case pressure was excessive.

yea thats what im asking, a lot of guys run an open vent setup and its fine for short term but i dont think its sufficient for long term daily use.
A proper setup will have two catch can SEALED no filter venting.
from valve covers to catchcan to one way valve to a port After the TB.
another lines from valve covers to catch can to the FRONT of the turbo pipe.
what this does is remove positive pressure that leaks though and is removed via vacuum at non boost(like how its setup from factory)
BUT
under boost the intake will be pressurized so youll use the turbo like a vacuum.
Ive had issues with filter venting in the past on my DD that caused blow by.
Basically the vented(two of them) got restricted flow, it got clog from oil "evaporation" and dirt from outside sticking to it.
When I say evaporation I mean those "wetness/condensation due to oil"

if you are running a pcv valve you have to make sure it has a check valve built into it or it will pressurize the engine in boost. also there is a vent line from behind the throttle body on the pass side that needs a check valve or just block it and get a breather for the oil fill cap. .if you have the restrictor instead of a pcv it will need a inline check valve so boost wont fill the engine. if boost gets into the engine they always blow the dipstick out and oil the hell out of the engine.

car runs on microsquirt and a cheap $80.00 turbosmart manual boost controller. with a 10 lb spring and the controller does the rest. engine is a 05 truck engine intake and all with stock48s triple 12 cam and springs. the 78/75 turbos might not be best for peak hp numbers but I think we can get it in the 5.90s with a $399.99 turbo.
Thanks Rick
