Default Oil Spitting out of valve cover breather

I recently installed a turbo kit on my b16a2 car is running awesome. However, the valve cover breather I noticed was spitting oil out and landing on my charge pipe. Any ideas why this is or what I can do to fix this issue?

Thanks

Sounds like you have excessive crankcase pressure. Does it spit out oil at idle? Have you done a compression test? What's your crankcase ventilation setup like, besides the valve cover breather?

Did a compression test all checked out with flying colors. No spitting oil out at idle maybe at Hi revs but not at idle. My crankcase ventilation is completely stock form there is a small silicone tube connected to a metal tube that is connected to something else. It's the same small tube that is connected to the cold air tube.

Sounds like you need more ventilation. You can either get fittings that screw into the large plugs on the back of your block, or a lot of people weld additional bungs on their valve covers to run to external catch/breather cans.

Well for my stock b16a2 and I'm running 10psi not pushing a lot I think the simple VC setup would be enough. By the way awesome setup that must pull like an animal up top. Maybe once I get the rebuild and go CP pistons and Eagle rods and probably Benson sleeved block and a higher bar setting I wanna set a goal of 500whp and 4+ tq on a built b16 weekend raper.
