Car running better with new PCV setup..
The old setup included a breather on the oil fill cap, and the 2 rear ports connected together to a small breather. With this setup there wasnt anything pulling the vacuum out.
The new setup, I have both rear ports run seperate to a catchcan, and the other side of the catch can is connected to the air intake in front of the turbo. The catch can does NOT have a breather at the top of it.
The new setup still has the breather on the oil fill cap.
My rear main was leaking, and needs to get replaced, but I think it is leaking a lot less now. Do you think the vacuum has pulled it back into place? Also it seems to be idling a lot better now. Before it would kinda surge at a stop light, but doesnt seem to really do that anymore?

No oil out the dipstick, but it would pop up a little bit. It hasnt poped up since I changed the pcv setup.
Also, I wanted to mention, that all ports to the intake are blocked off. I am not using the PCV valve anymore.

how bad is the rear main seal leaking? I am just asking because most grand nationals leak a bit just because of age and the high boost 15+ psi is pretty much the norm.
How is the turbo kit working out? I am planning on using the ebay hotparts kit as a basis for my 67 turbo ls1 build and your posts have been much help so far... thanks man!

I just got back from Colombia on Sunday, and took the car out. Punched it a little at 30mph or so, and the car started going sideways. Put a nice smile on my face =).

That is a good point, didnt think about that.
What check valves do you recommend. Do you happen to have part numbers of them so I can get them from the local carquest, or napa?
