Plan to decrease Crankcase Pressure, Pics included Options

[erics1one]

Well I think oil is being pushed out my turbo seals due to postive crankcase pressure, and I need to find a way to decrease the pressure. Theres a few different ways to go about doing this.


PCV Valve -> Turbo Intake AND/OR
PCV Valve -> Intake Pipe (my IC)

Currenty my PCV valve has a breather:


You can see the PCV Valve -> Turbo Intake setup here, which can be found on the stock 3sgte:



Some tap their PCV to their intake. The Injen Intake kit comes with a tap already in the pipe:



So I've been trying to decide what setup would be best with the equipment I have (5SFTE). Been talking to 'Byron' from mr2oc.com, he's knows his stuff when it comes to PCV stuff. I've been leaning towards hooking both intakes up. Was told here:

...that the small hose from valve to intake would decrease pressure during idle, while the larger hose from valve to turbo would decrease pressure during boost. Since I have a turbo, should I just connect the large hose to the turbo? Just connect a small hose to the intake? Split the PCV valve in two, running to both the Intake, and Turbo?



A: 5/8' hose to turbo
B: smaller hose to intake
C: one way valve

Okay, so I ran the hose from my PCV valve to my turbo. It feels a ton better. The smoke has decreased a lot, but is still present a few seconds after idleing. So...

This mean my turbo seals are bad?
Could I still have excessive pressure?
Should I try to run it to the intake mani? Or both?
Should I replace the 'O Ring' on the downpipe where its venting?
Could my 16% leakage on cyl 2 cause this?

I'm losing very little, if any, oil. And I don't have any oil in the IC or Turbo Intake piping.

I'll try to get some updated pics up this weekend.
