what are you going to do then?... take off the turbo kit and boost the other motor? or just take it off and run stock and build a new motor? i would still try to investigate why it was happening to begin with.. atleast you can correct that problem now before boosting again later with the same troubles.

I plan to boost the other motor. my mechanic told me it could of been 2 things, 1- it could of been a poor done motor from factory or 2- bad tuning. Hes voting more towards tuning.

besides that i really dont care in finding out what went wrong since i wont be able to fix the problem.

Undue that hose going from your valve cover to the intake pipe.. You don't need that hose anyway. I have a feeling your sucking the oil through that hose. Just put a breather on the valve cover.
