You guys are right, I'm sick of having issues. If its a problem with the engine then I'm hoping LME fixes it and it'll be up for sale when I get it back. It sucks putting this much work into.something only to have it last a short time. The stock engine and blower setup seemed the most reliable with the least trouble.

But I'm hoping if I adjust the crankcase breather system and use an oil resistor I can solve my issues. Truth be told I liked driving the high compression blower setup more than the turbo.

i really hope this is the last set back.

if so im serious about the mentioned combo... no need to drop the turbo size, that SCSB had a 88 on a stock 6.0 and was running 15-18psi for many MANY passes.

That sucks man.

If something happened to the engine I would just sell it and put your 5.3 back in and put a smaller turbo on it and rock out.

no oil restrictor will put way to much pressure on the seals


if your running a -4 or larger oil feed. you should put between a .065-.070..nitrous jet!

i have a .065 on mine.

If the compression test comes out fine then I will be putting in a restrictor and I guess getting rid of the catch can and just using a breather on the driver side. The oil feed is -4.
