good to finally hear from you man.
just one thing i noticed. your breather line its going into yoru iupper charge pipe in the pic. i know this is you factory intake tube and you used it to simplify things and cut initial costs. quite understandable.
however...
the breather will function fine when you are out of boost....
but as soon as you hit boost,
what happens?????
lets think
boost pressure is forced directly back into your crankcase...
since you have boost causing yoru pcv line to be forced shut to seal that boost leak off...
you have absolutely no way to relieve crankcase pressure under boost.
this is bad.
if your oil has been looking straight nasty even only days after an oil change, this is why.
since there is no crankcase ventilation, unspent fuel fumes, and other harmful vapors, and acids are left to contaminate yoru oil.
you will also get excessive blowby as a result of this.
all bad things,
if you want to recirculate your breather(and i do reccomend it otherwise thats metered air escaping)
you will want to move it to between the mas and the compressor inlet.
of course you will get oil into your intake sytem and eventually yoru intercooler this way, so i reccomend the use of a inline fuel filter to trap the oil(cheapest way) or get an ebay catch can.
can't wait to seed your car boost out of limbo,
but i know how school can be,
A lot of my projects have been put on hold due to a heavy courseload.
Don't be a stranger
