i had this in a old car, the dip stick was getting blown out of the tube, and spitting oil up the tube as well. the pcv tube was also full of oil.

Scotty, PCV system is blocked off on these cars.Turbo cars require the breather or an air pump. You cannot have a PCV system with the inlet after the turbo because the turbo will pressurize your crankcase and destroy seals, so the breather becomes the inlet.

ok so i need it on then. maybe i get some foam so the oil wont come out of the VC breather

it seems like it would be silly, just a piece of foam rubber, but it has worked for me. I just stuffed a piece in the inlet.

I ruined it, and it was stupid looking. I switched back to using a PCV valve because I was able to live with the .001% boost it leaked.

As I mentioned on the other forum.

What you should do is buy metal mesh cleaning sponge pad. Cut off a piece and put it in the breather. That will help keep the oil in the engine. Works for me.

Also buying the angled oil neck would help too since it's long. Like in the picture Z34Phoenix posted above.

I bought a cheap Ebay one and modded it all for under 20 bucks. Works great
