Re: What's the easiest way to avoid pressure in the crank case?
I just had my slash cut fitting welded, and I noticed at idle it was actually NOT drawing vacuum but, forcing air out.
So, I thought about installing a PCV valve inline and after researching I resurrected this thread.
Im not sure now if Im gonna use the slash cut, maybe Ill just go back to using my catch can.
I dislike the fact that the catch can and the breather filter emit fumes and smoke which smells.
I could use the pre-turbo intake as a vac source?
Right now Im using a breather filter on the valve cover, and have a catch can connected to the black box with PCV valve removed. (D16 T3 setup)
Oh yeah the slash cut fitting is welded to the exhaust but not connected to anything.
Any suggestions?

Good post, too much **** fighting...
RS/MM and the other guy have the right idea, only thing is, I dont see the reason for actually leaving the PCV valve in...I am a fan of pulling everything and lettign the VC breather through both holes with hoses. Its easy and it fixed my ventilation issues.

Re: What's the easiest way to avoid pressure in the crank case?
I'm not reading all this ----. I know very little about this ----.
Let me try using logic and someone tell me if I'm wrong: crankcase has positive pressure, pressure pushes ---- out the hose.
Soooo unless I'm wrong, wouldn't just unplugging the hose be sufficient? A catch can if you want to "catch" the oil and keep the bay clean? I don't see the point of the hose having vacuum. If there's pressure, it's pushing out of the hose. You don't need anything to suck positive pressure.
I could just be a 21 yr old idiot.
