So I bought the loo roll separator and installed it into my empty breather assembly and it made... No difference at all. Bugger. The smoke pours out thick and fast from cold start. I don't think it's the turbo as the exhaust is almost smoke free with the intake isolated from the breather. This mist was just going straight through the engine and out the exhaust, coating everything with oil along the way.
I've now removed and cleaned the intercooler and charge pipes. Oil literally poured out of the intercooler, which would no doubt have affected its efficiency. I haven't put it back in yet as I want to give it plenty of time to dry. I'll also probably change the gaskets as there was plenty of oil on the red boost pipe so there's a leak somewhere.
Still no idea what to do with those crankcase gases...
