Problem in Hilux ln106 Diff related?

Hey i've tried to find this in search. When i'm in four wheel drive high or low it feels like my front wheels might be moving faster then my rears. If i lock my hubs in and put it in four wheel drive high on a dirt road when i start to build up speed it kind of torque steers everywhere. In low range ...

12 psi. we used the thickest head gasket available from diesel power. Not too sure on compression. i'm gonna take the check valve off tomorrow and run it straight from the crankcase to the filter and put a restrictor in the oil feed line. see what this does for me.

goes from 60 to 80psi ish. if i remeber correctly. we checked it up when we did it and it was reading normal. yeah oil pressure valve is working. It's got me thinking, if the catch can could possibly be restricting the flow of the crankcase breather. because i'm pretty sure the pcv valve goes from ...

The thing is but we put in a check valve to stop this happening. And we tried it on the cross over pipe where the original breather goes in to, still same problem. Every other kit has theirs going in to the low pressure side of the turbo.

It had fitted the 2L-TE turbo (CT20) including manifolds, water and oil lines. The Oil line picks up from where the alternator oil pump ...
