Great news! I did some data logging on my way home and came to the conclusion it is 100% my A/F ratio that is causing the issue. It idles and revs in the 13.5-14.8 range but literally the second i hit 1psi of boost it drops to... wait for it.... 10!!!!! No wonder my car literally stalls when i build boost.. its flooding.. now i just need to figure out if its my MAF or the tune...

Oil blowing on the MAF will cause that.

JB Weld is not for turbos.

Okay guys got new housing and it ran for a day fine then started smoking again. Took it apart and once again the hot side gasket was blown. So replaced it and worked for half a day and smoking again. So I'm thinking I have a issue with my oil return system. I'm using a boost doctors pump to get it back to my oil pan. All the lines are braided stainless steel and I know I used -4 (1/4) for feed line and (5/8) I forgot if that's -10 or -8 but that should be good right? I know some people don't even use return pumps.. is there any way to reduce oil pressure?
