I have a couple problems here. I was told to buy a oil catch can after doing the t4 60-1 turbo setup. I purhcased a oil catch and have yet to put it on. Im a idiot and i have been driving my car with out getting it tuned first. Im preaty sure my piston rings are gone, because i am spitting out like half a 1/4 of oil if i get on it. Im am guessing eveyrone is going to tell me its my rings also and that im getting blow by. I am just going to get eagal rods and arias pistons. Also i just changed my alt. got a new batter and the battery goes dead in 3 days. Im sure, it is some kinda ground wire. If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it. thanks

do a parasitic draw test on the system. use an amp meter to test for milliamps of draw between the neg battery terminal and the cable(cable disconnected of course) make sure that all lights are off and doors all closed, if you have a pin switch under the hood for the alarm unplug it. after a few mins you should see the draw drop to 50 milliamps or less. if it doesn't start looking for what ever might be on drawing current i.e. aftermarket alarm,amps, door switches causeing dome lights to come on when moisture develops over night, things like that.
