PCV back into crank case wouldn't relieve any pressure
Yea it would cause in increase in pressure. Not exactly what you want when the engine is under load.Quote:

Another people do is run an air/oil separator unit from the PCV with one hose going back into the intake, and one returning oil back to the sump... another thing to consider :)
How most ppl including me run our catch can setups the legal way

The idea of running into the intake turbo, when under load the turbo will cause a vacuum suction, drawing any crank pressure, a.k.a slash cut
You have rep for showing me something newQuote:

I guess i shoulda asked firstly what engine is urs hahaha...Quote:

1 hose runs from ur pcv to catch can, another from the valve cover to catch can, an a 3rd from the catch can back into the turbo intake
And make sure u block off the port were the pcv hose use to hook up on the manifold, ensuring no vacuum leaks.
it works that way for any engine, turbo or not.
when youre on the go pedal, there is negative pressure in the intake pipe, which sucks the blowby gasses out of the catch can, and therefore out of the rocker cover/crankcase.
in fact in some super high power cars they actually run a separate vaccum pump connected to the crank case, because negative pressure helps with power production.
Whats the science behind this power increase? Less pressure below the piston rings in the crankcase affecting adversely affecting performance?Quote:

but if it is daily, use the catch can set up.
so the PCV still works and keep the oil out of the PCV and intake.
you should have the 2 outlets on the front of the engine for two reasons:Quote:

2) have more space on the rocker cover, if you look at the underside of the rocker cover, you have more space to have the outlet there.
Since we're on this topic... Can someone explain to me why i have 2 hoses going from the valve cover to the intake system?
One has a PCV valve toward the right of the VC going to the intake manifold
one doesn't and connects to the intake arm right before the butterfly valve
also would like to knowQuote:
