Crankcase ventilation on forced induction cars-results of my setup

Erich · 08-30-2006

Intake valves look about like this.
Current setup: throttlebody vent closed. Oil filler inlet line run to remote filter on a catch can. Turbo coupe pcv valve used in standard config. Looks like there is quite a bit of oil build up on the back of these valves. Will try venting both valve covers.
Should I do anything different on the PCV?

Have you considered a vacuum pump? Thats the best for evacuation and it will add some power.

If you do put a pump on it, or eliminate the PCV for any reason, make sure you reset minimum air flow.
