There are 2 PVC tubes on the 2.0L. That's what I meant. One has a check valve the other has a metered hole. I'm just reading books and saw the warning about your exact problem, I posted that earlier.

Can you please direct me to that book? I have 2 lines. One is with pcv valve. The valve installed correctly and is in working condition. The other line is just a rubber line that connects valve cover to turbo. There's nothing in that line.

this video explains the danger of cloged cat on turbo cars. Will pick the exhaust pressure gauge to test the back pressure.

You reposted it in #27. I believe what it refers to is an old fashioned PVC valve that is a check valve. The 2.2L and 2.4L have no PVC valve, just the meterted hole in the cover.

You either have excessive crankcase pressure(blow-by, worn rings, etc.) forcing oil into the mouth of the turbo. If the PCV valve is functioning properly, this will only happen during periods of very low vacuum or while boosting.

OR your turbo is bad, and dumping oil.

Ok. So installed catch can into the line from valve cover to turbo. Drove home 50 miles. Got some water into catch can. Than removed intake tube

that what was in there!!! I am completely lost at this point. If that is not coming from that line, where else can it come from??? Turbo is 3k miles old. Doesn't have any play.
