PCV setup for the cool kids?
There's been some good discussion on PCV modification, but at the end of the day we just want to know what works for the high HP/boost race cars.
Have you:
Fed both sides of the valve cover into a catch can and capped off the intake?
Enlarged both holes on the valve cover for said catch can?
Retained the vacuum via the PCV valve & intake manifold?
Please enlighten.
Cheers

Believe it or not, I've still got the PCV on my 1.6 and I'm guessing, when running at 20#, that's adding to my smoke puffing when going into sudden vaccum - if it's puking oil mist out my DIY-FAIL catch can, it's doing the same into my intake (when lifting off throttle). I never really gave it any thought and thats why it's still there. After getting a CC that works, will do what you said Spooky.

I'm still getting a little oil hitting the belly pan. On my todo list is putting in a real catch can, then pulling the IC and cleaning it out (that sounds like fun).
