you may have engine problem as well. that looks like a ton of oil in that filter if that is just one pull.

i kinda had the same problem and it was my turbo seal...... i just replaced the turbo degreaced the engine with some purple power and cleaned out the lines.... havnt had a problem since. i still get a tiny tiny bit of oil every now and then in the intake pipe but nothing crazy, only happens after a night at the track or autocrossing.

Yea its like 10 minutes of driving around, a couple part throttle pulls, two second gear pulls and a first through fourth. I didnt really get any oil till I topped out 4th. Im thinking its excessive pressure. We'll find out I guess lol.

Ok so I took the car on a long drive to Lakeland and back today...moderate boosting along the way. Car did ok.

On the way back I decided to stomp on it and what do you know, it is in-fact smoking. I get blue smoke out the exhaust when I first spool, then a sizeable puff when I let off during boost. Off boost the car doesnt smoke.

Im going out to pull the turbo, manifold, and downpipe off and see whats going on.

Haha I was on a mission man...went to buy a 240sx but the motherfucker sold it while I was driving over there.

Ok so I got the whole car torn apart now. The turbo looks pretty damn dry on the exhaust side. I pulled the pipes and there was about half a quart in there again.

Putting the car back together now with new gaskets, cleaning the pipes again, and then Im gonna try porting the OFH some more to get the pressure down. It seems that I get alot more oil when Im driving at high speed or on the highway, which is when my oil pressure creeps up so hopefully this will fix something.

Pics of the turbo will be up later for judgment

Next to none. It feels the same as it did 5 years ago when I got the car.
