I know what the usual causes of oil loss are, and I have checked them to the best of my ability:
-PCV is good, I also have a check valve on the PCV line
-I have a catch can
-Compression with my 2g pistons is 186-181-176-181, this was done cold
-The head is rebuilt with new valve seals
-I checked my turbo outlet for oil and it's dry, I'm also using an FP -4 restrictor
The car puts a cloud of blue smoke behind me only under boost, especially when it's loaded up in 3'rd or 4'th gear pulling hard. Also, ever since I installed my HX-35 (which is when these problems came about), my oil return line leaks where it goes into the oil pan. I am using flanges from theturbotrader.com and I made my own return with NPT barb fittings and aeroquip -10 oil hose. I am also using copper washers on the bolts and the thing is still leaking. It must be pressure pushing it out, although it doesn't leak anywhere else as far as I can tell. How can I figure out where to go from here? I'm sort of stumped. I sealed up the return as well as could be done. Everything on the car is done legit. The motor has about 20-30k miles on it as well as the head.
My plugs look pretty good. It's a little black around the rim but the electrodes are fairly clean. I think it's a combination of non-WOT tuning and running BR7ES (colder) plugs.
What do you think here? Am I missing something?
