what are your mods? Do you have a CC? oil sounds like oil blow by, you need a CC. if wastegate stock, it could be stuck shut, if it's not stock, you need to adust it down.

your right I don't think the stock wga will hold 18 psi and that is why I think his gate is stuck either that or his gage is busted, and that is if he still has the stock wga. He is in need of a CC that is for sure.

severe oil like that on the plugs isn't going to be solved by a catch can. sounds like your valve seals are shot.

and there's no way that you're holding 18psi on the stock turbo with the stock wga. it just doesn't hold that high. plus if you've been doing that for a while that could be contributing to the issue with the valve seals, you're running too lean.....
