Default my attempt at a complete vac/pcv diagram

Ok, so a couple days ago I put up some ignorant post asking about PCV and vac routing for a turbo'd LS1. Granted I didn't search much. However, after researching quite a bit, I still didn't come up with anything that really answered all my questions in one place.

So as repayment for my non-searching-sins, I've created a diagram that I think answers the vac and pcv questions once and for all. If its wrong, please let me know and I'll update it accordingly.

Do you have a filtered fresh air inlet for the engine anywhere?

In that diagram no. Everything I've seen so far suggested that a sealed system would be better for scavenging oil from the turbo... no?

I would be more concerned with pulling air in from somewhere you don't want to, like around your seals in a high vacuum situation. If you have any type of restriction on you air filter (gets dirty) then your vacuum will go way high under boost. If your oil drain back line is designed properlly then you won't have a problem anyway. If it were me I would take off the line from your ls6 valley cover and put a filter on it.

So can I ask... does the compressor housing vac fitting produce vac or boost @ WOT? I'm getting conflicting info on this since drawing the diagram.

Compressor housing fitting is Boost only. You need to be on the inlet side of the compressor, then you will see vac only.
