Turbo Problems: rear seal
I was a rookie when I had my engine built up and turboed. I thought I had made the engine "bulletproof" by getting some good internals. Now I have a damaged rear seal, which is near the transmission and is a $20 part. This wouldn't have been damaged if I had an Endyne Catch Can. Now just to get to the seal, I will have to pay around $500 in labor. So right now I have to deal with leaking oil.
My point is that if you are increasing the pressures inside of your engine (ie adding a lot of horsepower), you may want to look into getting a Catch Can.

Boost was only 11 psi (I don't have a 3 BAR map sensor), but my mechanic said that the crankcase ventilation (PCV, what you said) is not set up properly. I wish I had known this before.
