Another question,

I am getting a little bit of oil on the air intake side of my blower... In turn, getting through the blower and ultimately out the exhaust causing me to fail the beloved CA smog requirements. Vortech swears their seals are not the problem (the thing has been sent back to them 3 times so far...). My only thought is it is coming from the PCV return from my valve cover to the intake side of the blower.

I though about putting a reservoir on that line to catch any oil that may make its way through.

I would assume that if the blower had a seal issue the oil would ONLY be on the output side, since the air is being forced that way. And the only other source for oil to be on the intake side was from the relief valve.

Do you think this is possible? Thanks for your thoughts.

take one of the metal water bottles and drill a hole in it and route the pcv there. put a breather on the top and tada. even if that doesnt fix your issue it's a good idea and a good place to start.
