Sorry to keep posting on this but I can't figure this out. I have oil in my intercooler and compressor outlet and throttle body and I mean alot of oil when I tip the intercooler over it will drip out alot. I have an oil catch can that is connected to the two valve cover lines and the one on the crank case and it does not have any thing in it after 6 days. I've already replaced my turbo so thats not it. The screwy thing is thats the only place it can be coming from. I also get alot of blue smoke but it's only under boost when it dose it. Has anyone ever seen this or heard of this. Please help I've already talked to the shop and they don't no. The only suggestion they had was that I have a restriction in the return oil tube on the engine underneith the turbo and I have to pull the turbo to check that to make sure I have good flow.
Thanks, Troy

yeah I checked the pcv it's good. I have alot of oil coming out of the crank case too. But how is it getting into the turbo all of my pcv lines are going into the catch can? What causes the crank case to let out all that oil is there something wrong in my engine?
