Default Parking on incline..

I found that if you park on an incline, with the nose UP, oil will drain into the turbo and eventually cause all kinds of smoke and oil in the intake. The only solution Ive come up with is to park nose down... I also went with the high volume oil pump because the stock one that came with the kit would sound the buzzer all the time under heavy boost. No problems with the HV pump..

Dave is the best, I must add as well. He has helped me out about a dozen times!!
Yea Dave's a hell of a guy. Mine is pretty noisy when it's cold too and quiets down once it warms up. I was told that is the norm.

They have an anti-surge valve that should take care of that problem. Had mine installed a while back, but haven't put it through parking uphill,nose up test yet.Hey John do you have a pic of your relocation filter in the bed???

Cool

The oil inlet to the turbo center housing has an inline fitting with low pressure flow control valve. When the engine is off and the oil pressure goes down the valve closes and stops the flow of oil into the turbo housing. Mine used to leak on the garage floor overnight until I replaced that fitting. So far no more oil leakage. Thanks Dave.

STS swapped it out for me. They said it was for a higher HP application thwn mine. It is a little noisier than the stock one but works good.

As far as the oil running backwards when parked nose up, The oil is comming from the 2 ft of return line between the pump and the turbo. My pump is a little lower than the turbo, but not much. I gueass if you have enough drop to the pump you wont have this issue.
