So I have installed a catch can and I am still blowing blue smoke. My guestions Is if I have a restriction in my return line that causes the turbo to be soaked in oil. I feel like the line should be straight down but this is a u shape. Attaching picture

Yes, trying to use a header return line on a stock location turbo will cause a problem. You must not have read the install instructions or you would have noticed it wasn't the line you needed before you attempted to install it and ruined it by kinking the line where it is touching the motor mount.

Well when I ordered it the picture looked like the braided section is alot smaller. I assume there are 2 options and I ordered the wrong one. So I don't make the same mistake again I need the stock replacement version 2 for $70 correct?

Nope, there is no way to order the header return from the same page as the stock return that has the short braided section. They two options are on completely different pages of the site. There are two options in the drop down menu for the stock line but it's just T3 or IHI turbo and both of those are short. Order it from this page: www.stinger-performance.com/stockparts.html (you are correct, the stock replacement version 2) Don't get it from here: www.stinger-performance.com/headerparts.html (this is where the header return you ordered is) It is also absolutely critical that you read and follow the directions for the return line. 90% of people will ruin the line trying to install it without instructions. The instructions are right there in the oil line description, as well as in the FAQ section of this forum. Above all else, if the install doesn't appear to be going properly, ask questions before you kink the line trying to install it with an "issue", not after. After you kink it, it's ruined.
