Help...Oil from BOV

Hey guys, I am experiencing some oil blowing out of my BOV. BOV is stock. I am still getting full boost that comes on like nothing is wrong. What is going on?

Yep, welcome to the oily mess associated with venting the stock BOV. Your turbos may have a little wear and may be allowing more oil into the intake tract than normal, as well.

That is good to know. I had been told by some others that maybe the turbos were going... I just had a new set and new manifold put on like 2000 miles ago... Yeah I have a new HKS SSQ but I would like to mount it in the stock location ( I dont want to weld it in, there doesnt seem to be any real good locations with a stock mount greddy intercooler). Does anyone know where I can get a flange to fit the SSQ that will allow me to mount it in the stock location?

If it of minimal quantity it is totally ok. Keep checking it though if it increases it meant that either your turbos will be needing service or that oil is mixing with gas like what happened to me since I had blocked coolant pipes both in and out of the auto choke.

Other things to check if it was my same problem is the level of oil which increases or white smoke from the exhaust and irrigular ideling plus engine shut down when cool and pushing on the throttle.

HKS has an adapter plate that you just put the SSQ BOV in place of the stock BOV. The stock hose fits right onto it.
