here's the setup

88 crx si jdm b16 with obd 1 conversion
hondata s200b, hondalogger, romeditor
blitz sbc id and powermeter
garrett t3/t04e .48/.60 57trim
monza ssqv bov (same as hks ssqv)
2inch pipe from turbo to ic, 2.25inch from ic to tb
tial 38mm wastegate.

I first installed the turbo and it worked great, I got 7 psi by 3-3.5k rpms but then.............I turned it up to 10psi and ......
I was having problems with only getting 4-5psi on my turbo, despite a blitz sbc id setting to 10 psi. well I figured out the screw clamps on the charge pipes weren't tight enough, so I tightened them and they stripped. I just installed t-bolts on it last night and I finally got 8.7 psi, but it took me hitting 7k rpms to get it. when I first installed the turbo I got 7psi at 3-3.5k rpms.

well when I was installing the t-bolts I fould oil in the pipes just after the compressor, so I figured the fucker is leaking past an internal seal, there are no external oil leaks.

I am wondering if it is possible that the compressed air is leaking into the tubo cartridge and out the exhaust side or into the oil drain line, I know it sounds crazy but I can't see a boost leak past t-bolts and the oil leak is the only other problem.

I am going to remove the bov to see if that may be the problem as well. I have already tried to play with the settings on the boost controller but there is no change.

this pisses me off because the turbo was a refurbished unit that had a full rebuild, yet not 200 miles on it and it's leaking oil.

does this sound like it may cause the boost leak issue?
