Turbo Help
I have a kkk stage one single that has less than 10 miles on it i pulled the new intake pipe I made and it is full of oil. Out of the conter ousing it is slobering oil. There is oil all in my blow off valve. And everything.
Is this a sign the turbo is bad or what else could it be. The few miles it has been driven i constanly putting oil in it. its only gone around my block and leak has progressed extreemly bad. There has been full of oil on every trip so I do think it ever got starved. Any suggestions would be greatle appricated.

Check your pcv lines (you can find a diagram of these in the fuel/emissions section of the shop manual). Stock has two (except 95) - one to intake and one to manifold with a valve on it. Alot of people will cap one of these lines which is ok, but if your valve goes bad or you cap both it will push oil out of your turbo. The other thing is that if it is ball bearing turbo needs a restrictor pill in the line. Last thing is make sure the return line from the turbo is unrestricted (no sharp bends or anything that would restrict flow).
If none of this works the guys at turbocity.com can test your turbo so you can rule it out.
Good luck,
Shawn
