I got the cat used, with my exhaust... it's a Brullen.
Milltek costs a fortune... but I think Labree (sp) sells cheaper ones.

so your replacing a perfect working turbo beacuse your pvc system is bad? Makes sense i guess, replacing the wrong thing. A catch can and/or a pvc change with solve the oil issues. If your turbo was bad you wouldnt make boost and you have a massive white cloud out of your exhaust. So if you havent bought the turbo yet...DONT, yours is fine.

Check your PCV (NOT PVC!) valve, I guess. If it rattles when you shake it, then it's good. If it doesn't, it's bad.

its oil blow by going back into your intake, through your turbo, and through your ic piping and pooling in your ic.

And its not "could be" it IS just blow by. Do what i said about and you will be fine.

christ sakes, i make one damn typo and you act like you knew what his problem was. When its bad, it spews out oil, thats enough of a test.
