I restricted the feed to 1/16" and after that, it was perfect. it still is, for that mather.

oh, and iff you got oil on the intake side, double check your air filter. if it's too restrictive, it causes the compressor to suck it's air, creating a vacuum in the compressor, making it suck the oil right out of the seal.

im actually not running a filter because it was too restricitive, i think it couldve been what started this issue in the first place, but really no way to tell. ill call up turbonetics and see what they say about a restrictor since they recommend the -3 line for the ls
