the explosion blow by the gap between the piston and the cylinder.you can use a catch can to keep the spitting oil off your engine but only a engine rebuilt will fix it if it's to bad...take a compression test you will be fix on your engine health

No, you have to much pressure in your motor from when you hit boost and your motor is not able to breath just from that one nipple. You will have to put a catchcan setup and weld bungs on your valve cover look up catchcan setups to see what I'm talking about. To the kids who said your motor is going to blow, not true, why do freshly built motors have catch can setups with 6 breathers? obviously they are not going to blow, its because of the extreme amount of pressure in the motor that needs relieved.
