just put my 99spec twins on and they go good but I noticed after a drive histting boost ( max 10psi) my manual boost tap is spewing out oil into my bay ( see pic) the BOV ( aftermarket) is doing the same but not as much.
I'm wondering if i've overfilled the engine with oil because when the turbos went on they were primed and then I filled the engine up with oil without compensating with the oil already in the tubos. plus I also noticed when I got up this morning and checked the dip stick the oil was way above the "full" mark on the stick.

Could his cause the oil to spew out like that out of my boost controller and BOV?
do I ned to drain out some oil or will this not cause any drastic problems apart form a mess is the bay?
or is it likley this isnt the problem at all ?

I would at least drain out a bit of oil to see if that sets things right. Even if it doesn't, you shouldn't be running around with more oil in your engine than what's recommended. Drain it out and see if it goes away.

ok I drained a bit of oil out ( was a bit of a comedy show ) and took her out for a good hard run boosting p to 12-14psi, I brought her home and wala! no oil. So it must have been over filling.
I do notice that I do have extremely high oil pressure though, I will monitor this over the next few drives.

Thanks a lot

Is that oil pressure reading from teh stock gauge? Remember the stock OP sensor doesn't last terribly long.

It seems to me that you should keep an eye on the oil accumulation - watch the lowest point of your intake for puddling oil, and also watch for the smokescreen exhaust when you're boosting. Low mileage doesn't prevent them from being blown.
