Default pcv for those who used to be like me

i was really worried about the stupid pcv thing for a while. i was gonna buy one off of ebay, but i found something better. i have been talking to oxsleeperxo and he has helped out alot.
so he tracked down this thread from an SRT forum
http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97923
he alos gave me this site
http://tsx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9571
now in my opinion, this is much better then the ghetto pvc pipe setup i have seen, he said he once seen a kid use a pickle jar. so for those facing the same problem i did, this is for you.

i had a catch can but it was ghetto so i just put back a new pcv valve. aslong as boost doesn't get into the crankcase it's ok. factory turbod' cars have pcv valves in the same location as n/a cars so i think it's aight.

i thought the pvc valve will only open at vaccumm..so doesn't that mean pressure would build up in the crank even at low boost?

no pressure from the turbo will go in the crankcase cause that pcv valve will close tight when it's not in vaccuume. people use catch cans so oil doesn't get into the intake manifold. when it's in vacuume, in idle and between shifting gears, the vacuume will suck out the vapors from the crank case with a pcv valve. just make sure there's a new pcv valve installed.

robert, you moron, turbo cars use a diffrent PCV setup foo. The reason why we install catch cans and illiminate the PCV completely is because under boost(or any time) there is blow by past the rings, this builds up, and causes even more blow by, which means, rings get fucked up and you loose power. stop talking if you dont know what you are talking about.

oh realy?...that's not what it looks like here. this is a pic from an srt4neon, it's in the link above too incase you want to confirm it. notice that it has a pcv valve just like a n/a car and it's connected to the crankcase just like a n/a car. and pcv valves from factory turbod' cars look identical to pcv valves that are for n/a cars. the reason peoples cars ---- up with the stock pcv valve is cause they've gone 100k miles + without changing the pcv valve and they have oil and crud clogging up the pcv valve and they're crankcase can't vent between shifts and at idle when there's vacuume in the manifold. so yank your hotdog before you have diareah at the mouth again PUNK! :P

what's so different about it?maybe the location of the pcv valve but it's the same concept. the pcv valve stil closes on boost and opens on vacuume. and it's connected where it receives vapors from the crankcase. just like on any other car. it's also connected where it sees boost, but closes on boost and opens on vacuume.what's so different about it?
