even with my kleeman pully, the best I could do is 11 PSI if the vdo guage is correct

So I did the flap reset the other day.
I held it slightly off 90 degree (normal position when the car is stopped)
while someone else turned the key.

It seemed to do the reset both times we had the ignition on.
It happens very quickly, opens and closes.
I tried doing it myself, but I have no idea if it worked...by the time you
get from turning the key to front of the car, no way to know if it did it already, so have a 2nd person helps.

I didn't notice a big diff on driving. And the position of the flap after it warmed up for 30-60 seconds (when it's completely closed...which leads one to ask, where the heck is getting air from during that time?)
was still at maybe 30 degrees at idle. I'm still not clear on the function of that flap. When open it pulls a mixture of fresh air, and exhaust off the
oil breather hose. When it's closed it.... ?????
Makes a funny sound! Like it's gasping for breath!

Oddly, when I took my car to Sac dealer, they replaced that big plastic piece the breather hose connects to.

E, didn't you say you increased your mileage by disconnecting that hose,
putting a plug in the plastic piece, and a filter on the crankcase breather?

Or did you plug that too?

I did it alone but I did not feel any difference so who knows if it worked.

I found some oil in the recirculating flap, anyone know where it could be coming from? the pipe that connects to the oil catcher isn't connected to the black box at the moment so where else can it be coming from?

It comes in from everywhere.
The systems is designed to suck oil back into the supercharger.
Having a pulley exacerbates the situation.

Thanks for reminding me I need to get some hose clamps and reconnect my catch can.

Are you sure that's normal? There's oil going into my airbox and as soon as I took off the wastegate solenoid off the car oil was dripping everywhere
