Aerochargers etc: real back pressure numbers

[Dave Evans]

Hi

Wouldn't lower back pressure increase oil blow by, past the seal?
Theirs some picture around of a Garret T25, verses a T3, and it would
appear from the casting point of view that its just the T3 has been
flowed. 

I know on the T25 fitted to my car unless you've got cats fitted
(increasing the back pressure) oil virtually pours past the seal at idle
and on over run, I'm told this is a common problem with the T25, any
Nissan ZX?00/T25 owners care to comment.

Cheers
