Got simular problems with excessive oil coming out from head to the airfilter and then going down the pipe to turbo.
Anybody build a catch tank on their VW LT ?

However all was not well, the engine had terrible fuel consumption, sometimes struggling to get 12 MPG.. should do about 25!, and it used oil like no tomorrow, it was taken back to the firm 3 times during the years warranty, (120 miles each way, involving a train journey home and back each time) first time they said nothing was wrong, second time they said I had 9 bent valves.. and was expected to pay for them.. until I reminded them that the engine was supposedly fine last time they had a look at it, and the last time they plumbed the fuel filter in wrong, and damaged all 4 corners of the van, and the engine still used oil,
I traced that to excessive blow by and I kinda sorted that by re-routing the breather pipes from the air intake, to a catch tank, and plumbed in an electric oil pump to put the oil collected back into the engine as we drove along, it wasn't a fix of the problem, but it worked for me, the engine has always been very strong, boy can it pull, it towed the buggy like it wasn't there, it always started first time, even in the middle of winter, it was quiet, and smooth, if it wasn't for the oil being chucked into the catch tank, no one would believe there was anything wrong with the engine, at last it was getting about 22 to 24 to the gallon (doing a constant 70 mph on all major roads), I'd replaced practically the whole fuelling system, injector pump was re-calibrated every year, injectors were new, and when they got a little bit worn, I had new nozzles put in them, all in all we spent another 3 grand on this engine install, the engine mount I had to move necessitated the purchase of a mig welder (well, I'd always wanted one, but didn't have a good enough excuse until then :), and the actual mounting leg was £120 from VW!!!,
