So apparently I'm generating excess blowby. I spewed a little oil through my dipstick last night when I hit ~8.5psi.
Currently, I have PCV and Crankcase vent on the valve cover both routed into the atmosphere. I am going to connect the PCV back to how the factory intended. The only issue is it will raise my idle a bit because it will suck in "unmetered" air through the valve cover vent. However, I was thinking about routing the valve cover breather to a catch can, and route that to the turbo. I have a catch can already, and a few feet of line. I just need to drill and tap my turbo intake for a hose fitting. How have you turbo guys routed your PCV system?

They put the PCV in there for a reason. You should probably reconnect it to the intake manifold.
As for the valve cover breather, reconnect it to the intake piping before the turbo. That's where it's suppose to be. I know there are several different reasons for both of those systems, but one of the reasons is to help bring oil up to the top of the head. |
