Default Excessive oil blow by. Procharged

Procharger, oil in the intake, oil on the plugs, oil in the intercooler. Car died will not restart, procharger says add a catch can but it seems like there is more to it. Car is well cared for and has 54000 miles. New to me. Any ideas ?

Well they're not wrong you should have a catch can or breather, but it sounds like you might of hurt a piston buddy. I suggest doing a compression check asap just for piece of mind.

I unhooked the procharger and the car runs like a top, has vacuum at the PCV. I’m going to remove that thing from the car and return it to stock. Sell the procharger.

More air into the engine (from a supercharger) = air IN the engine and more blow by.
Assuming the engine isn't hurt, a good PCV inclusive catch can will probably solve your problem for $300 and a couple hours of labor

yeah, that is not going to help with oil on plugs , oil in the intake ....

Heck plenty of people run centris without a catch can , procharger instructions do not even show one

Since he said he took off the charger and it ran fine , it makes makes me believe somebody did not hook up the pvc system correctly and somehow fed boost to the PVC/crank case .......

The only other thing other than incorrectly run pvc hoses that would have allowed boost to get into the crankcase is a busted ring land or a tired motor ( blow by)

I am sure if he just spent some time diagnosing it , it would have been fine
