Default funny idling and oil in charge carrier

alright guys, when i started my car from cold its= idles around 2k and if i leave it for around 10 mins it will go down to around 1k and even lower some time struggling to idle smoothly.if i switch one from cold and drive it lets say around 10miles to work i will get to work and it will still be idling high...why is this? does it need a set up?


also i noticed a resovoir of oil in the charge carrier and the intercooler top hose! why does this happen? i still have the stock breather coming out of the rocker cover in standard setup

help will be appreciated

Get an aftermarket catch tank and this should stop the problem.
