Turbo leak and ducting issues

[dracing70]

I have an htt turbo and am having to problems. First how much oil in the ducting is acceptable. Is this oil unusual or not cause there is a lil bit. Second i am having an excrutiating time keeping my ducting hoses from blowin off at high boost numbers. I finally resulted to epoxying the side that attaches to the ducting and am hopeful this will work. Any other ideas? and is there a hot upgrade for this lly ducting cause it is sort of small.l

I'll toss this in before the mods move it!!
Oil is normal if you haven't rerouted your PCV. Oily boots also make it difficult to keep these things on at higher pressures. Remove and clean your hoses and piping, reroute your PCV and you will have fewer problems I'm sure.
What kind of boost pressures are you seeing?

you have a few choices

1- the ground,preferably no where near your tires

2- you could purchase a filter for a air compresser and rought it there

3- a coffee travel mug, then just make sure you have the hose going in the top and drill another hole the allows it to vent in the top as well
this would allow the oil to drop out and still vent the air

4- use you imagination

personally i choose the ground, its the easiest

There's a pic in the trread lbz attached showing where mine is routed, it dumps at the driver side inside frame adjacent to the skid plat.

I like the path of least resistance

You don't lose enough oil to worry about recycling it. The way I see it if the engine doesn't want it in the first place, don't force it to take it back !!!

Yje end of my tube is a little oily now, but none has dripped to the ground.
