Yes, there is a hose hooked up wrong. He has the CCV hooked up to the intake after the turbo. It should be hooked up before the turbo or vented to atmosphere.


Quick question. Would this cause your car to throw some smoke out the exhaust. Maybe i should hook it up to my intake on the turbo. I was driving my car around a bit & car smoke's abit. Wondering if it's due to the recirculation valve hose not being hook up or there is something wrong with the turbo. Which iam leaning more over the recirculation valve. What you guy's think? (I have the same exact hose as the one in the picture.)

The smoke is probably fuel. Like I said before, venting to atmosphere on a draw-thru setup will cause the car to run rich (blow smoke). Hook the line back up somewhere after your MAF.

I did the same thing the first time I hit boost, blew the dipstick out and enough oil onto the manifold to smoke out the whole highway behind me, haha.

Keep the stock oil seperator and hook the hoses up like everyone said.
