Right, but there is no problem with that (leaking past 8), the air is metered, you will not overspin your turbocharger, you will not lose power unless you are unable to make boost where you set it VIA MBC which he dosent even have. but then when you go and install a bov and vent it out to get a whoosh sound you basically give your car a post compressor boost leak while causing compressor surge, crappy mileage, slow spool between shifts due to a rich condition, and overall sluggish turbo response..But hey, it sounds cool right
BTW your oil problem sounds like the PCV tube popped off and is blowing air or more then likely you are just smelling the METERED AIR that should have been going into the engine due to your VTA decision.
I won't bother your posts any longer, but I remember you saying you were gonna do your car the right way, and it's a decent car so I just don't want to see it happen again..Put the stock BOV back on and recirculate the air back into the intake tract if you want it to run better, thats all. YOu have absoloutely nothing to gain from a BOV except noise, if you end up upping the boost and it wont hold, get a evo BOV or similar.
