If oil backs up (usually because of a bad oil return setup) it will push the oil in the CHRA past the seals.....into the downpipe and/or compressor side. Some hondas can see 60-85 psi of oil pressure up in the higher rpm range.

yeah unless you are running a restrictor on the oil inlet on the turbo you most likely blew the seals out.. my b18b see's 80+psi in higher rpm's.. blew the brand new seals in my old turbo, ordered a restrictor for the new turbo and its been champ.

honestly I thought about it after he said the oil filter and came to the conclusion he is talking about the piece you can buy that is threaded for oil feed and the filter screws onto it.

And yes I know there is pressure which is what I said but honestly I didn't think there was that much coming through. oh well shat happens lol.
