I have the t-60 rear setup and i like it, but one of my friends has the same setup and the school i go to(UTI AZ), has a trans am with the same setup as well, anyways i have heard of the oil return line coming off the coupling that goes into the oil fill cap. I was wondering of any permanent fixes, so i can head off problems before they happen. The guy who is going to tune my car(NicD) said that especially on dyno pulls are they having this problem...Info appreciated.

Hey Kurt,
What most the STS guys do that I have seen is to tap the oil pan for the return. I have seen 2 standard STS oil returns just blow off on the rollers and on the street creating a big mess.

Alot of people do the return into the oil pan, I welded a threaded bung onto the drivers side valve cover on the front lower corner with a 90* adapter. I just did not like the idea of tapping the oil pan. I have had no issues.

I've also seen a billet oil fill cap, cant remember where though.

One of those was mine. It did that time and again. Turns out I had alot of blow-by which makes the STS PCV/oil return system unuseable. I tapped the oil pan without even taking it off the car. It wasn't that hard. It also makes it less likely that the oil drains back into the turbo when your car sits.

braided SS line with pressure fitting end going into a billet cap. Shouldn't have any problems there. Also just toss the STS PCV stuff out and run the rear ports to a catch can and vent the front pass port.

EPP tap my oil pan after my oil return line came off the oil cap and sprayed my whole engine down with oil. If you go to EPP's website, under project cars , you can see just what they did. I am running a breather on my after market valve covers also.

sorry i meant pfyc.com for the cap
Then just tap it out for at least 3/8" NPT or you could go 1/2" if it fits. Then get an elbow and a quick disconnect. Summit sells everything else you need just go and type in oil hose. Mine is 1/2" (or use at least a -8 AN size)

Check the PCV threads for info on how to set those up. I would resort to a check valve and catch can rather than the STS stuff.
