BOV issue

ok, my BOV is shooting some exhaust, oil like junk out at about 2200 rpms and the car is sputtering bad? what the heck is this coming out of the BOV, and boosting weak by the way.

Why did you gut your precat instead of just getting a downpipe? To save money? The BOV should hardly be going off at 2200rpm, it can sometimes spray a little oil mist, it sounds like your turbos might need a rebuild, are you getting dark smoke coming from the turbo area?

yep to save money! it blows it out hard, and cuts out bad, the engine that is, no smoke, around the trubo area, but i do have oil in my pipes from the turbo, could my main cat be clogged?

FD isn't the car to own to save money I don't think the main cat being clogged would cause that kind of problem but it might be possible. How long ago did you gut your precat? It could be possibly that stuff that was lose in the precat fell down and got stuck in your main cat.

Some oil in the intake pipes is normal, but only a little bit. If it's thick on there at any point, or you can't see the pipes through the oil, the turbos are blowing too much and they're probably in need of a rebuild soon.
