magden is fine, originally we wanted to use it because of the look but in the end we needed 1 or 2 more inputs that magden didnt have. supposed to have the A/F on there but hks left out the fact that you cant monitor that without f-con hooked up to it. so i had already purchased camp 2 with the sensors and found that out a day later and got the FAST a/f meter because f-con was out of the budget.

He was thinking it might be oil seals ^^^^^
I am thinking that it might be a rich situation versus oil seals. Could be the oil drains also.
I'm thinking that a siphon on the drain side of the turbos would be a nice preventative for any oil backup into the turbos. GTM was telling me over and over how critical the drains are for these kits. Unfortunately, there is really no opportunity for a "steep" gravity feed to the pan because the motor is so shallow. The pan spacer that GTM offers is an option but only adds one inch to the total depth. The kit as it sits has a nearly flat oil drain which goes forward to the pan. Add some high acceleration and there is a ZERO chance that oil is going to drain forward to the pan. My $0.02.
