Default Where do i connect breather line when i have a turbo??breather filter bad?

Where do i connect the breather hose if i have a turbo? Because the turbo intake doesnt have a hole for it. I heard the breather filter was bad...so i need to connect it somewhere but i dunno where. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

i have the breather filters, which i cant stand. They stain the valve cover, and it smells like oil. Im planning on adding niples to the intake and route them back to it. Has anyone else done this?

just make sure you do it where the pipes never see boost.

Best is to connect your valve cover breather to the air filter pipe before the turbo and make a slant cut setup. This would make it just like a stock crank ventilation.
Do a search about it on http://www.theoldone.com

What you could do is connet a silicon vacum line to the Pre-turbo air filter on the compressor side of the turbo. But put inline a small fuel filter to avoid getting oil in your turbos compressor blades. A cheap filter like the ones they sell in summit or Jegs will work.

hey i hate to bring this back form the dead, but is this the way it should be done? Its been many years now, so what have most people been doing? By the way, i did search and even read the whole 6 pages about the catch can/breather filter.

Attaching it before the turbo might not be such a good idea of the engine is producing a lot of blow by gases/oil , eventually it'll gunk up the turbo and blow out the seal
