i personally do not know of that, but my experience when my turbo took a shit on me, My car began to smoke up out the exhaust. Day after day it got worse, did a compression check and other checking up processes stuff and i came to the conclusion that it was the oil seals in my turbo that went out. replace the turbo, and now i do not have anymore problems.

how high are you boosting out of it? and btw we are talking about a regular t25? how many runs did you make? did you do back to back runs, or did you do a few runs then take a break to cool down then go at it again?

i cant view the video, says i need to install something, which i dont fell like it.

i havent seen anything out the tail pipe yet and i do have the regular t25. i did a couple of back to back runs but i let it cool down and dont think i was running it too hard. it was boosting at about 12 to 13psi. im going to pull the bov and check under there for oil.
is it ok if i just dd it and dont boost untill i get another. guess i have to upgrade to a t28

i had the same problem, and i pulled my mani off to replace a gasket and i checked to see if there was shaft play or anything and it was fine. i have the same BOV as you and i just had to adjust the top screw. and check to see if all your clamps are tight. mine sounded like it was blowing off from the air filter or somethin. but try adjusting your top screw on the BOV
