Hey guys, I bought a catch can a while back and although it is catching oil, I'm still finding oil build up in my inlet, turbo, and intercooler. I know I'm not overfilling the oil and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting that much over boost (most I get right now is 22psi, but installing Dawes tomorrow)
Any thought?
Cheers.
what brand catch can you got ?
Could be your turbo seals. Im not a fan of these catch cans but you could still get a small amount threw them there will be other here who have experience with these. However it could be turbo related and your getting oil past the seals it wouldnt hurt to check this out also.

If it is the typical catch can it will need baffling to catch oil otherwise they are useless.
I baffled mine and it worked but i wish i had spent the money on a provent one .
It's a custom unit from a reliable 4x4 workshop. I replaced my turbo before the can went in so if it has failed, there is something very wrong with my system. I bought the turbo as a new unit from Turbotech who is highly recommended by everybody I spoke to, so I can't see it being a faulty unit.
The catch can guys have sent me a new can at no charge to see if it's the can... Now that's customer service! And yes it is baffled ;) they did say my crank case could be over pressurizing... How does that happen and what can I do to check it?
did they put the one way valve back in when they did the plumbing
Interesting... I did the plumbing... Simply removed existing hose with new one and added the can half way along the new hose.
Where is the one way valve?
If your crank case is pressurising you have a lot more to worry about than the turbo. Vent the crankcase to atmospher block off the inlet for it on the intake drive it for a few weeks and see if it has changed.
It is inside the original hose , I just used a joiner and new hose and left the original hose connected to the rocker cover .Quote:
