what to do with my PCV
right now i have my BOV t-d into my PCV and its not blowing off so im thinking it should have its own source. So instead of buying a catch can, is there any other vacuum source i can T my PCV to? FPR,Boost gauge,wastegate on a different location on my Skunk2 IM?

the hose that goes into the intake manifold from the pvc = loose it, take it out of the pvc
you can use that spot on your intake manifold for your bov. eventually you need a catch can set up.

Re: what to do with my PCV
isnt it bad to not have the PCV hooked up? would it damage my motor at all to run without it hooked up until i get a catch can?

Re: what to do with my PCV
if your too worried about it, just wait untill you get your catchcan set-up. Id always rather be safe than sorry
but to answer your question, no,it wont hurt your engine

Re: what to do with my PCV
yeah thats true also... but right now since i dont have an extra vacuum source for my BOV it is t-d into my pcv going to my intake manifold and its not blowing off. I think it needs its own vacuum cause im getting compressor surge. but for now if it wont do any damage ill unhook it and let it hang and plug in my BOV.

Re: what to do with my PCV
I have a new question. What would be the difference between leaving the pcv hose plugged into my intake manifold for a vacuum source and plugging it into my intake pipe coming off my turbo? I have a nipple on my intake pipe i could use for a vacuum source wouldnt that be the same thing? if so it would free up a nipple on my intake manifold for my BOV.

Re: what to do with my PCV
i ran it like this (go to teh part that says PCV, and i did the second option) http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html So its not venting to the atmosphere. It goes from my intake coming off my turbo to the catch can, then from the catch can to the pcv black box. Is this correct?
