Time for some boost! VSR Motorsports Single Turbo Kit

I've noticed some of the turbo kit for our cars just have crank case vents instead of rerouting them through the intake.

You know I'm not sure, I know the line that's on there now is suppose to restrict flow more than the one that was on there before but I guess the seal could be compromised. Bobby seems pretty certain it's coming from the turbo. The drain line doesn't look like it would restrict the flow out, no weird bends. Yeah I'll have to bring that up to him too, didn't think about that.

Interesting, yeah I gotta look into this.

In other news the guys at UpRev and Bobby got me running again last night! I was pretty down earlier in the day but they pulled through and got my maps patched for the new license since Nissan wiped mine clean with an update. Wasted $200+ for a update and tow for no reason. Made my problem worse instead of fixing it. I just wanted the VVELs checked and fixed oh well. She lives again to boost another day. I was worried my car would be down until next week but the guys stepped up and got me what was needed right up until closing.

I can't speak on behalf of other turbo manufacturers as I only have Garrett turbos in my car but I do know that as per recommendation from Honeywell they advise you o run a (and don't quote me on this ill probably have to find the information again) 1/4"-1/8" restrictor at the center casing. I'm not so sure that your seal has actually been wiped out just yet. Anything possible sure but I do know that just as Cosmo stated there are some design flaws in turbo kits on the market for our cars. No I'm not doubting S&R's ability to design a kit by any means but it is easy to overlook tiny little details that can cause persistent nuisances.
Do you have a catch can on your car midnight?

Yeah I still need to run it by Bobby. I hope it's not cause I really don't wanna send it off to precision but if that's it then it is what it is lol. I do have a catch can, it came as part of the kit.
