You can get rid of the PCV and use breather's but I see no point to unless you are boosted.I personally like running the PCV on NA motor's.

I run no pcv, i havent run one for a while, i have no issues, if your rings are good you should be fine. lol
i took mine out because it looked like ****, extra weight, and i got valve covers as well, it looks much better with it all out. IMO and from my experiance it works fine.

If you read it i said i havent run one for a while, meaning 2-3 years! from when i first did my turbos. then o went to the n20 setup. i hated the pcv, its ugly.
My car hasnt had an issue with it, i never ran a catch can like alot of people do, and i dont run the breathers to the exhaust like most race motors do, (rings are tight)
just my opinionn if the car will work without it, it looks better and its about 5 pounds gone. pull the egr and AIR along with it and your good to go!
oh yhea, i still drive on the street just not as much as befor.
soon i will have a nice jungle gym in my car incase i get stuck in trafic. lol
