SOHC VTEC at its best
ok well i got my kit on. but i have a few things im concerned about. first off, there is a slight amount of oil coming out of the fitting on the compressor side of the turbo. makes me wonder if my drain line is too low. i did it an inch away from the top of the oil pan so i don't think that's a problem. it could be too much oil pressure going to the turbo. also there is no shaft play. anyway, number two. my bov wont open up. i have my vacuum lines hooked up like shown in this thread:

but i'm wondering if i have the bov hooked to the right spot. i wanna go off of the fpr, but i have the line hooked to a vacuum line on the back of the manifold that i guess goes to some black canister. my idle is retarded also it goes up and down, maybe bc of being tee'd into this. also, i took out the wastegate spring so it wouldn't boost but it still boosts, wtf? it spooled a few times to like 5 - 6 psi and u can feel it. and instead of the bov releasing pressure it just backfeeds so i wanna make sure i get the bov set right. Here's pics of everything.
Where my boost gauge is hooked up. this is fine
this is the sensor i have my vacuum line from the bov tee'd to.
this is the line and tee i put in. notice the sensor on the right.
this is the tee that goes from the bottom port on the WG to the bottom port on the BOV and the nipple on the compressor housing. before i put the zippers on here there was a slight bit of oil on the tee and there was some on the nipple on the compressor housing...
this is the bov. the top port goes to the intake manifold sensor line that idk what it is, the bottom line goes to the turbo and WG nipple. how do i adjust the damn thing to release pressure?
Sorry for the huge post i need to get these things fixed!!!
