Default Oil coming from the breether on valve cover

He's my problems guys, I have a GSR with about 145k miles. Turbo pushing about 10.5 PSI. Didn't get around to getting a FMU but I have a turbosmart boost controller that wasn't regulating the boost at all. It was just like at 10.5 the waste gate was throwing it out. So yesturday I was driving it I got on it on the highway and got up to about 10, felt it running lean so I backed off, put it back up to about 7pounds and when I did it sounded like a gasket blew. No powwwwwwwww sound just a puffffffff of air I head kind of. I lookied under the hood and I have this oil that came from my breather on the strut bar and injectors. Whe I rev the car up sitting still alittle smoke comes from the breather along with oil. (not alot of oil just a bit)
My neighbor said it sounds like a valve spring gave out. When I take off I get no boost. The vaccum changes from vac to boost but boost still reads 0. So feed it to me straight guys, what did I blow?

I know it's not good. Obviously. Just trying to take a stab at the problem.

yes you are experienceing blowby, which means at somepoint in the near future, you will need to get new rings. whats happening is that the crankcase pressure, multiplied by the bost that you are running is so great that it is forcing the eninge oil past the pistons and into the head/valve cover/breather

To all of you, Just to let you know, that an intercooler pipe came off. It was causeing pressure to build up in the crack case causeing blowby. No damage done. I have oreder a complete fuel system up grade to make you people happy. haha. THanks for the input guys.

I dont understand how a loose intercooler pipe would have caused pressure to build up. When you lose an intercooler pipe it is a major boost LEAK. Good idea going with an EMS setup. Which one did you end up getting?

OBX 8:1 FMU with an AEM Fuel pressure regulator. Also upgrading to an external wastegate with a 5.8 psi spring.
