I have a few questions:

I just replaced my t2small with a 14b, before it boosted about 15psi, now w/ 14b it will only boost 10psi. What is the cause of that?

After I replaced the turbo, I felt I should repace the plugs and wires. When I took the plugs out One of them was loose, and they all were white, showing a lean condition.

Not everytime, but sometimes when I start the car it will puff out a little blue smoke, only for a second, and I just noticed that the last time I got out of the car while the timer was running down, I noticed it puffed a little bit of blue smoke for a second, then it quit. Is it the rings? or could it be in valve seats? :confused:

check the PVC valve, make sure its not broken or cloggedor anything, could be that your presurizing your valve cover & blowing oil past the valve stem seals.

I pulled it off, and blew through it with an air compressor. It let's air blow though it at low pressure, but once I try to force more air through it, it won't let it through, it closes, and doesn't let as much air through it. Is that how it is supposed to work?
