Yes, either that or you don't have a proper oil drain setup or too much oil going in from the feed line.

Oil return on the valvecover, what?!

I am speaking of the oil return that goes from the bottom of the turbo to the oilpan, hope you arent talking about the same thing

you know i really cant tell you i think thats what my brother said. im not in the same state as my car so i cant look at it. if it was goin back to the valve cover would that cause the turbo to blow oil out the exhaust?

The oil drain on the turbo is gravity fed....the drain hose has to go at a downward angle and connect to the oilpan (above the oil level) otherwise the oil will back up in the turbo and start blowing past the turbine seal

Not trying to be a dick but you really need to read up on your turbo basics

Lol, yeah I thought that was funny too

But honestly speaking, the only valvecover oil returns I have seen are on the STS remote mount kits hehe, and of course they have scavenge pumps to get the oil allllllllllll the way up there.
