would the pvc system make the compressor wheel gunked up on an oem turbo car such as an audi or saab? Would that be a bad seal?

Yes, almost all cars that have an OEM intake tube will have a breather hose running from the cam cover to the air intake...and that would mean that on an OEM turbo car, oil vapors would end up on the compressor wheel. You could put a baffled catch can in the middle to catch some of the oil. If there's a lot of oil on the compressor wheel, it's probably a sign of poor compression and blow by. The turbo itself could also be leaking oil, but the compressor is pressurized most of the time, so chances are you would notice the turbo oil leak on the turbine side.

that can cause oil buildup on the compressor wheel for sure....but the seals are probably leaking too.
