Question A little oil in the bov after driving hard.??!

noticed that i had a little oil in my boc after a coupla of really hard streetruns,
i have had dust there before but this is the first time i have seen liquid oil.
is this a sign that my turbos are going south??
they boost really good,, so they dont seeme to be shot.

about 60k on engine and turbos (now running PFC and .95bar)

can the stock twins be overhauled without it costing to much?

A little oil is normal and comes from two sources: turbo blow by, and from the crank case breather system.

if you over fill on oil a bit... you'll blow a bunch out the BOV. check your oil and make sure you aren't overfilled.
