Turbo was running crappy NOW BIGGER PROBLEM!
I just had trouble getting my FMAX turbo kit running correctly. I think i might have messed up the motor pretty bad now. I am shooting oil out of the breather on my valve cover. If i am correct i blew a piston or more. Please tell me exacly what I did.

Run a compression test and post the results.
The ringlands is basically the groove in the piston that the rings go into. With cast pistons, under boost/ extreme detonation they can break or chip off before the rings blow.
But run the compression test first to find out if it is indeed something internal. Otherwise, you just might need to run a catch can to get rid of all that oil blow by. Does the car run pretty crappy? Or does it still pull pretty strong as before?

Re: Turbo was running crappy NOW BIGGER PROBLEM! (Finest)
The car pulls and runs under boost just like it did before. The only difference is when i am idling the car shakes a little, like it is idling to low, but it is not.

I think you either cracked a ring land or mashed up your rings. I speak from experience cause i had a similiar problem except I was shooting oil out of my endyn catch can!! Similiar symptons though.....car still pulled hard under load however at idle is seems to be missing. I did a compression test and #4 was at 75 
. Pulled out the piston and the ringland was cracked...do a compression test right away!!

Re: Turbo was running crappy NOW BIGGER PROBLEM! (99AccordTurbo)
it is definatly ring lands without a dought. i have expierienced about 5 motor that have blown lands one of them being mine and they all shot oil out the breather. the only thing you can do is rebuild your bottom end.
