One way check valves are needed on the pcv, and probably others. Thinkin I broke or did something to the pcv system. Theres a very slight release of what seems to be hot / vaporized oil smoke coming out of the back side firewall, near the top of the block and slightly bellow the head. Still runs like no problem. Still boosting.
UPDATE. its a bad top rear freaze plug.

yeah so its safe to say that you need sone felpro gaskets to handle a turbo on this motor. Head, exhaust and intake, valve cover etc.... and maybe arp studs. Definitely a must have if your over 80k miles xD. Shes purrin atm. Almost 0 smoke is coming out of the motor now. Little more time at idle with the heater on max.
