My truck is a oil hog!

My truck is a oil hog!
OK, you guys remember my old thread about oil covering everything from the ruber intake boot the the lower intake? Well, my truck was down for 2 and half weeks after waiting on Apten to send a ported S/C. I called them a few times and found out that there was a problem with my cc. So untile I get that problem lined out, I threw my old S/C back on the truck. When I did I added a few things.
I bought this kit that Rob suggested. Then I got a oil seperator. I installed both when I put the S/C back on, which was last Tuesday.
Well today, I checked the sep. to see if there was any oil. This is what I found.
So, after about 5 days, this much oil is still getting threw. I have hopped on the gas a few times but nothing big, just a few quick get up and go on a long empty street.
So, I am somewhat pissed. What else should I try? Do breather caps help?
Please help, this BS is crazy.

The Lightning Enterprise one works!!!!!
Friday when my engine was removed to put in new one in I checked the intercooler and dry as a bone and no oil residue. A few small flaks of teflon was in there off the rotors but I'm not worried about that.

I hear some people say their truck passes oil through the line to the intake and intercooler. I also hear some people say they don't have any problems with oil blow by.
A few questions on the issue. First, does the excessive boost create more blow by than a stock truck? Excessive boost seems like a possible contributor, but I'm staying modified. Second, Does everyone put in the 6 quarts of oil that is stated by the factory when you change the oil. 6 quarts is just below half way up on the dip stick when I recently changed it. But the previous owner had the oil all the way to the top of the full mark on the dip stick, or 6 1/2 to 7 quarts. Excessive oil seems it would greatly contribute to our problem.

High boost does contribute to more oil in intake and as I stated above this one works: http://lightning-enterprise.com/pcv.html
By the way I run 22lbs of boost....

Only add 6qts of oil with filter and if it only shows half way on your dip stick I suspect you have the wrong dip stick.
