i'm not sure why you get more when they have been charged but you need an oil catch pot. it fits on where the oil return is from your manifold. The oil is dripping down your MAF sensor.New version supercharger kits have these. i spoke to Raj and i am waiting for one.

Yeah the VF kits come with a catch tank, but oil will still drip down the intake. The only permanent cure is to vent to atmosphere. I run a long hose from the catch can down to the steering rack and fumes are only really noticable when sat in traffic. It's better than replacing the MAF every 3 months.

You can also put a 90 degree samco coupling on the intake pipe to move the MAF away from the oil path.
