Hey man, is that PPIR in your last video?
Just curious as I'm planning on hitting several events over there this year. Did my first 2 trackdays last year and I'm hooked.

I'll let you know! Definitely want to get into their Time Attack series, for similar reasons. I heard it's super fun, and looks like a good fun event for someone like myself without too much track experience to get into. Me and my buddy with a 09 NC club are going to be coming up to do several events this year, just not sure which ones yet. We should plan it out and all go to some events, it would be great to see you and check out what your car has become since I last saw it (was that 5 years ago?!)/

That drone is awesome man. Really would like to come see your car this year, and you can check out the progress on mine. I'll be in co spgs pretty regularly this summer.

Bummer man, looks like a ton of blow by. Might be worth doing a compression test to make sure you don't have a problem.
Increasing the flow from the crankcase breathers can definitely help, but it won't solve a mechanical issue. Feel free to contact me to chat if you want, Nick has my number.

Ouch. My first engine did this after I broke a ring landing.
You could check that your PVC valve is ok. Not sure if boost pressure alone would be enough to do this through a failed PVC valve.
Your tubing from the valve cover to the catch can does look a little restrictive, because it is so long, but since this just
happened suddenly, there is probably a failure of some sort.

Sorry to see this. Keep in mind that with your PCV setup it's going to be closed at WOT and you are trying to vent the entirety of your crankcase out of the tiny drivers side vent. Also make sure the line isn't clogged for any reason. I'd imagine that at your power level you should at least delete the PCV and route both breathers to a can.
