I just ran a line from the stock crankcase catch (where the pcv valve is / goes to) to a slashcut in the downpipe, without a pcv valve, and a filter on the valve cover.

I also ran it with just the pcv valve off for a while. You should be ok, I'd just remove the pcv valve so it doesn't close when you go into boost.

ugh god everything i read about catch cans seems pretty complicated.

To run a turbo catch setup you need to be able to cut and weld, unless you want to run that crap back into your turbo intake (bad idea imo)

itll be fine - catch can is long term kind of prevention. if u want to spend $150 just get the endyn setup - works great and is VERY complete and comes with directions.

well i dont think its fine cause your blwing oil and fuel **** all into your intake while not in boost, and then your plugging the ventilation IN boost.

this seems dangerous no matter how long you run it for....?

ah thank god some replies! sorry for post whoring

so you guys are just running the valve breather with the rest of the stock pcv intact? no ringland problems?

imthiking of either unplugging the pcv valve line from the IM or removing it altogether. cant decide which would be better
