Is it normal for turbo sleds to blow vapor out of the oil vent hose?

Is it constantly venting because my turbo is recirculating oil back to the tank?

No, I'm pretty sure it's from the oil tank vent hose. The hose that dumps to your right footboard.

My MC has a little tank on the vent that catches most of it and leaks it back to the crankcase, unless you tip it over on it's right side running it hard. then it blows the oil out! BTW, how's that meth setup working for ya?

I can't really tell you yet. I worked all last night on the sled getting it ready for McBride tomorrow. Then once everything was together and running I started leaking coolant pretty good and couldn't get her fixed in time.
But the 2 tank meth kit is installed and I think it will be awesome.

I bought one of Dave's kits too. Figured I had room for the tank but no go. I fabbed up my own tank and it holds about 3.5 litres, where the rad used to be. Hoping it's gonna be enough capacity. Just waiting on a set of rails so I can finish it and go for a rip. Turned in to a little more than I had originally planned.

Yeah. it always does.
Dave fabbed me up an aluminum tank that fits perfect in the nosecone. Then I mounted a plastic tank that's above the belt guard and gravity drains to fill the lower tank. It's about 4.5 litres total.
I will be posting pics and stuff once the weather warms up a bit and I get the leak fixed.

Maybe you'll have enough capacity for a weekend of riding, 4.5ltrs sounds like lots. I've got the tank where the rad used to be and the pump in the nose. Gonna put the spare belt on the belt guard and maybe strap the toolbag to the belt or else wherever I can squeeze it. Running out of real estate.
