As much of you are correct, Im suprised only one of you mention checking compression and leak down...

If you see a increase of crank case pressure its mostly cause of piston ring failure.

Double check before you bandaid a real problem.

Good Luck

If it was as bad as that, then wouldn't you be blowing blue exhaust fumes?

Are you venting the front valve to the atmosphere or running it back to your intake pipe?

make sure your pcv valve is working and also doing a compression test wouldnt hurt just to be safe.

when your running big boost you going to pressurise the crank case more than if you was on std boost. the more mileage you have will effect this more too as your leak down percentages increase with normal wear.
more venting is good
a spring is good (for saving messy bays)
resolve your blowby issue if its excessive.

evoryder have you any pics of the map vents installed?
