thanks man, i figured someone here would have somethin to show...

if it's leaking oil into the air ducts then there has to be air coming in that case that's causing it to blow oil into the ducting. So there is your boost leak, which would be in the compressor. Maybe an oring got pinched putting it back together or something.

There is no oil or anything coming from the case.. I have to check my input shaft seal because there is only oil coming form there... if it was the case or the output shaft seal I would have oil in back of my blower and in top of my hood ( like I had before )

i dunno what seal was leaking when my blower went, but there was only oil in the IC tubes, nowhere else on the motor/blower etc.

either way, boost leak the system when the blower is off.

why can't you get logs because of a leak? doesn't the utec have a MAP sensor hooked to it?

It sounded like you shifted pretty quick. What rpm was that at? i saw it hit what looked to be 10psi which is about 6k rpms which sounded about right for that video. Then again, it IS a video so i can't really tell the difference between 500rpms from a video.

I can't log because the blower is out of my car, and it's not drivable lol.

At that video I shifted at 6500. It definitely wasn't at 10 at 6000 though =\

no warranty work here though as he took the blower apart and did seals himself.

I do all my logs in 3rd gear. start off at 1500 rpms, floor it to redline.

Once you get your blower back in, do that, log it and post back.
