ok guys here is what happened i blew my engine and got it rebuilt professionally i ran it in to about 10000k's and then i decided to put a new turbo on it so i got a gt3582 wolf computer and a few other pieces done to it. after a week of driving it i started to get excessive amounts of crank case pressure like lots of pressure to the point that i would go for a run around the block (put engine under load) and the catch can was full. So now i'm putting a Gen 3 in it but back to the point of the story i pulled the engine out and noticed that the great mechanics that tuned my car kinked the oil return to the point that there was little to no oil going through the join, would this be the cause of the crank case pressure or could be a cracked piston etc. thanks for your insight boys...
