STS Problem Need Help ASAP 02 Camaro SS M6.STS kit with Intercooler blowing smoke out the exhaust and oil in the exhaust pipe.New turbo,new pump,new check valve,new hobb switch front.Oil coming out of the turbo.Oil in the intake pipe. Checked pressure in the crankcase and it is only 1 lb.Checked PCV valve and was told it is ok.How do you check the STS air pump that is hooked to the PCV system? Checked the oil lines and was told no problem.I am stumped and the installer of the kit says they are stumped.Anybody out there that can tell me how to fix the problem?I need help asap and has anybody had the same problem with the STS kit.I don't know what else to try to troubleshoot the problem and I am at my witts end.Email me at tmister@***.net.Thanks for any help you might be able to give in order for me to solve this headache.
This sounds like the oil return pump is not working right. My pump went out once, and oil was coming out of the tail pipe, and getting into the intake piping too. Make sure that pump is working.

Check the connectors on the oil return pump. Since there is a cover over the the connections, one could have come loose, and you wouldn't even see it. That's what happened to me.

My car did the samething.I lowered my oilpump and used a nitros jet to restrict the oil going into the turbo.I talked to Billy at TRT and he gave me the idea.If you run a high volume oilpump the return pump cant keep up.I also hooked my wires together on the hobbs switch up front so the pump runs on high all the time,but my car doesnt get driven much.

Only time I've heard of this problem is when the oil pump is wired backwards. So, you're pumping oil into the turbo from the oil filter spot and then your pump is not sucking oil out, it's also dumping oil in.
It can be easy to miss and I think STS even warns you of this in the manual.
