Today I removed the tubeing to my procarger intake and MAF and found A considerable amout of oil in the intake and tubing.

Any one know what may of caused this? And how do I fix it? <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Hope your blower is still under warranty, because your blower seal is probably bad, check the level on the blower, and check the color of the oil, if it's greenish brown, call ATI or whoever sold u the kit, to get an RGA number to send it back to get resealed

You need a PCV Check Valve.

Where do I get a PCV Valve and how do I do the install?

sounds like blow bye.

depending on how you set your kit up, if you did it like they say and reroute the pcv air back into the air intake, then you are getting"oil blow by" meaning the crankcase is pressurized, pushing oil mist through the pcv hose into the air intake, necessitating a check valve, or filter of some sort to keep oil out of intake air.

My Vortech is doing the same thing, but it is not alot of oil. I remember someone else saying that a BOV helped solve this for them but cant remember who it was. It was a 30th TA with the Vortech. Probably need it though.

Do a search on 'Check Valve'.
It gets installed in between the Intake and the PCV valve. Most people use the McMaster Carr piece.

I am having the same prob. and i already cleaned out the whole system. now it's doing it again a lil.

I put a fuel filter in the pcv hose, to kinda alow the pace of the oil, but it still kinda leaks still.

but i m going to go get the check valve.
Is there anything else i should get????

Also I am getting low boost levels about 2.5 insted of the 5 psi that I was getting about 3 months ago.

put a filter cap on the oil cap that should help alot.

got the oil filler cap, already(thunder racing) I also got the checkvalve this morning.we'll see if it works.

Plus I met a guy on WWW.LS1.COM and he had a solution too.
So if u would like to know, if u would like the PIC's of it, write ur e-mail done and i will e-mail u with it.

COALESCING ELEMENT TO FIX ATI’S
HIGH BOOST OIL CONSUMPTION

INTRO: THE LS1 ENGINE UTILIZES THE VACCUUM PRODUCED BY THE INTAKEMANIFOLD TO RELIEVE/EQUALIZE PRESSURE WITHIN THE ENGINE. THE
ROUTING OF THIS LINE CAN BE FOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VALVE COVER VENTING INTO THE THROTTLE BODY.

THE ADDITION OF A SUPERCHARGER TO THE ENGINE WILL CREATE A POSITIVE PRESSURE WITHIN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS POSITIVE PRESSURE WILL CAUSE THE INTERNALS OF THE ENGINE TO BECOME PRESSURIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE THE OIL RESERVIORS TO NOT
ADEQUATLY PROVIDE THE MOVING PARTS WITH OIL IF THE PRESSURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EXCEEDS THAT OF THE OIL PUMPS PRESSURE HEAD. THE VALVE COVER VENT MUST BE REROUTED TO THE INLET OF THE BLOWER
SUCH THAT A VACCUUM IS PROVIDED TO RELIEVE/EQUALIZE PRESSURE WITHIN THE ENGINE AT ALL OPERATING CONDITIONS.

PROBLEM: THE SUPERCHARGER MOVES A LOT OF AIR THUS CREATING CLOSE TO AN IDEAL VACCUUM WITHIN THE INLET OF THE BLOWER (29.9 IN OF Hg OR 0
PSIA). THE VACCUUM AND PRESSURIZED ENGINE INTERNALS FROM THE BLOWER CAUSES EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL VAPOR TO VENT FROM THE VALVE COVER INTO THE INLET OF THE BLOWER CAUSING THE AIR DUCTS
AND INTERCOOLERS TO BECOME COATED WITH ENGINE OIL. THIS WILL DECREASE THE EFFICIECY OF THE INTERCOOLERS, POSSIBLY COAT THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR AND CAUSE FALSE READINGS (SENSE LESS AIR =
LESS FUEL DELIVERED = LEAN), AND ULTIMATLY CONSUME OIL. SOME MAY MISTAKE THE OIL THAT COLLECTS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BLOWER AS AN INTERNAL LEAK WITHIN THE SELF-CONTAINED OIL SYSTEM PER ATI’S DESIGN, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE.

SOLUTION: AN ELEMENT IS TO BE ADDED TO THE SYSTEM TO COLLECT THE OIL THAT PASSES THROUGH THE RELIEF/EQUALIZATION LINE BEFORE IT ENTERS THE
BLOWER. THE UNIT SHALL INCORPORATE A COALESCING ELEMENT THAT WILL ALLOW THE OIL VAPOR TO DROP FROM SUSPENSION IN THE AIR STREAM AND ACCUMULATE WITHIN A DRAINABLE CONTAINER.

no i dont .
just go to your local auto parts store like autozone and look at the filler vent caps, get the push in type, you should be able to figure ot which one will work, cost like 10-15 bucks.
