PCV System, Help/Suggestions?
Posted also in Integra forum
OK well heres my delima, I just turbo'd my integra (literally yesterday), I drove over 150 miles (drove easy, untuned as of right now) from greenville to the coast and a bit around town, I only hit a few psi 1-3 just driving normally and when I get to the island I had oil all on my hood and turbo manifold...Apparently my valve cover is leaking (getting a new gasket in the morning), but my question is my pcv valve may be pressurizing the crankcase cause its still set up the way it came from the factory. So I may have this problem and I kinda need to know how to run a catch can to ventilate the case. My plan is to cap the IM port where the PCV system is connected and leave it unconnected until my catch can came in. I was thinking about routing a hose to the intake (pre-turbo) to create a vacuum and act like its supposed to but with this way my turbo/IC/Pipes would be covered in soot after a few weeks? Would it be wise to cap off the IM and run the hose from the PCV to a catch can and put a filter on the valve cover and NOT have the can connected to the intake (pre-turbo) and just let it stay open (both the valve cover and the catch can with a filter to Vent the crankcase), would that be adequate to vent the crankcase?
Sorry if its confusing but any help with this would be appreciated.

i hate to say it, but this dead horse has been covered many times. in the faq's at the top there atleast 3 threads i know of with regards to catch cans and pcv setups.
from the faq's:
Information on Catch Cans and how to construct them: (thanks 95gsrcivic)
