Default need help I'm having some issue.

I am running a 6# Powerdyne Supercharger and at 6,000RPMs I am seeing 8lbs of boost. The problem is I am notice that I was blowing oil out my breather tube. When I run the car and open the oil cap I notice that either steam or smoke was puffing out. Also, under acceleration you will noticed a puff of black smoke from the exhaust. But when decelerating you will see swirling blue smoke coming from the exhaust. About a month ago I purchased a ported TB and it was sending bad throttle position and the car was going 26 degrees at WOT instead of my normal 14 degrees. After I found out the TB was the problem and fixed it. I notice that my number 3 cylinder was getting a misfire at idle. The last thing was I notice on the dipstick there was what looked like Brass or Copper shavings. I changed the oil right away and it looked clean and have changed it again 500 miles later and it is still clean. Has anyone one else had this problem. Or have any ideas of what my problem may be.

BTW I am not having any over heating problem even in 106degrees with A/C on. No coolant leaks either.

Thanks for any ideas you have.

check the pcv setup and hope you find a problem there, if not maybe a compression/leakdown test.

not to scare you but i had those little bronze color shavings/ metal powder in my oil when i roasted the old motor.
that stuff was the bearing material.

your situation could be different.

I'm almost positive that it is the ringlands. I'm popping out the dipstick and I am getting seriuos blowby.
