ATP turbo sells plenty of silicon hoses for your vacuum needs, you're going to need a few Y or T fittings to splice the vacuum flow, you're at least going to need three hoses if you plan on running an MBC, one for the wastegate to the boost controller, one for the boost controller to a vacuum source (I.E. intake mani, a welded pill in your boost plumbing. (also, you're going to need one for your boost gauge) And as far as breathers go...just get a K&N they work well and are washable and reusable. atpturbo.com garrett.com buschurracing.com amsperformance.com will all sell you the parts you need. ATP will most likely be the cheapest, and ebay works well too...high temp silicone, is high temp silicone. Good luck.

If I just put a breather on my car will that be enough not to blow the dipstick??

Where do I put the valve to help prevent oil from getting in the intake??

the valve should be located on your valve cover to provide the vacuum necesary, and you can put a breather on it or route it to your intake tube. Your guess as to where to get one is as good as mine, keep checking all the forced induction specialists like ATP turbo, AGP turbo, and other places like that. Also, don't rule out the import specialists, they know their stuff when it comes to turbos so dont be afraid to ask some of those guys.

I ordered a one-way valve from Kirban Performance that the turbo buicks use. It came on the 86-87's. Their number is 216-766-1611. The part number is 6769 and it is 20.00.

The one I got from Kirban inserts in the line before the pcv..........So yes, there would be some cutting involved, but you can use a knife instead of a torch to get better results.

If your using the intake vacuum to produce a negative pressure in the crankcase, those breathers are not neccessary. In fact, If you run intake vacuum and the breathers you now have a vacuum leak.
Valvecover #1--> One way check valve --> catch can --> Intake vac source (brake booster hose?)
Now either repeat for the other cover OR
Valve cover #2 --> One way check valve --> Breather filter

The breather and check valve on your other cover should be setup to allow any possible pressure build up to vent when your car's making boost. But also close off under vacuum so it wont allow air to be drawn in and create a vacuum leak. And IMO the breather isnt nec. then either.

The later route would be pretty much the same as mighty mouses, I believe.

IMHO, mighty mouses setup is the best DIY crankcase evacuation setup Ive seen that still uses engine vacuum to do it.

I agree.

You do have to have a small 'leak' from somewhere so that the vaccum doesn't get too high in the engine and suck air past the seals. My 'leak' goes from the Valley cover to the pipe between the air filter and turbo inlet.

I made one last addition to mine removing the oil fill cap and adding a 1 way breather that i've converted from one of those $10 pep boys deals using a piece of rubber inside as a valve.

You're right, if the air is only going out of the engine, no real need to filter it.. but the housing itself provided me the means to hold the parts together.


I havent had any pressure Issues but this is more *very* cheap insurance.
