Default Oil cap blowing off

I just bought a Fez turbo for the missus, it needs a little work and possible a turbo overall but it generally ok . Its had a rebulid recently, about 20 miles ago to be precise however it keeps blowing the oil cap off. Does anyone have any ideas, obviously its pressurising somewhere but are there any key areas to look at first before i start pulling it apart.

Thanks all

check thr breather on end of rocker cover isn't caked up.....if its not then it prob requires uprated breather.

Thats the optimistic way of lookijng at it...normally heavy breathing means rebuild time...it did on mine anyhow.

Yep was the breather blocked solid , cleaned it out with some TFR, water and an air line. Now works a treat . Sending the turbo off monday for a recon
