Default Lots of oil from pcv

hey guys, Just got my car na-t and after a day of playing around and boosting everywhere my car is smoking HEAVILY upon throttle from the PCV which i have just open for the moment.

Its literally covering my engine bay in oil film and smoking heavily upon throttle, also seems like its not boosting very well anymore but that might be something else.

Anyone know if i have to do something with my pcv when going na-t or what???
I hooked up a water bottle with some vent holes poked in it and drove for a block and a half and got a tablespoon of oil. I know thats know good but i dont know why thats happening,

anyone got any insight?

If I had to guess you played to much on a untuned NA-t with 10-1 compression and probably wiped out a ringlan or 2 possibly more.
I would recommend doing a compression test for the answer cause it sounds to me like blowby

Yeah i guess so, after a bunch of reading im assuming thats what happened. I was giving it hell for sure, but I wouldnt say i was "untuned" I did take the proper measures to install a gte ecu but guess it wasnt enough.

If that is the problem then i gotta find a new block i guess?? Was hoping it was just the rings but well see when it gets tore down.

I took great care of this engine since my ownership and it showed no signs of giving out, but i guess boost will do the damage.

A stock GTE ECU does not handle the proper timing of a 10-1 compression and then boost on 93 octane

Yon need to do what I recommended as you most likely collapsed the ringland if this happened it is possible that you did not hurt the crank or cylinder walls, but you won't know till you take it out

My boy got the valve covers off and a baffle or two is cracked and he thinks it's the problem but I'm thinking that's just a result of too much pressure from broken rings am I right or?

That doesn't help^^^^^^^^^^^ but again do a compression test

Also you stated the car was feeling different (boost feeling from your 1st post) this will not be from the Baffles!!!

cant get the boots out from my coil packs...... those things are sucked in, they wont come out w/out ripping.

yeah im with you on this one i cant imagine the baffles breaking causing that much issue, i figure its more of a result of the increased pressure ,
Gonna put a fresh one back on and try the comp test again.

if your baffles are broken you will experience much more blowby.
If you remove them you pretty much need to have a good sized catch can.

If you still can't rev past 4k, I cant imagine you making enough boost to kill your motor.
Why you are trying to boost with a map sensor code and rev problem just confuses me.
you should really take it easy until you fix your wiring problem.
How much boost are you hitting, I have ran 12 psi on the stock motor on the GE ecu without damaging a thing, and the GTE ecu is much better.
Test your PCV take it out and make sure you can't blow into it on direction.

tonight do a simple test

after dark start engine , remove oil filler cap with engine running , get a white light , bend down wile shinning the light in the direction of oil filler cap .. if you see smoke huffing out the filler cap while car is running like a choo choo train then as others have mentioned , ringlands may be shot and /or compression rings

i say do it at night as its easier to see
