Default What breather are you using?

I have an 02 Z06 with a Hinson Motorsport 76mm turbo kit. When under boost i get oil pushing out of the breather in the valve cover, that hits the turbo down pipe and smokes. Does anyone know of a breather that wont let oil push by? Any help would be great.

You will prob want to go to a catch can setup to help vent and catch the oil at the same time

I have one but still get a little pushing past the breather. It may be saturated though.

you probably want to run a -10 line off each valve cover into a puke tank

What I meant is a breather probably isn't going to fix your problem. I had the same problem you did i'd lift valve cover gaskets with just 1 breather. Switched to 2 lines into a puke tank and my car doesn't leak oil anymore and gets rid of any crankcase pressure

I'm in the market for a good puke tank. Any recommendations? I want to run both valve covers and the valley cover port to it.

I was looking at this one. Looks like I could put another 6AN bung on the other side. I wanted one that was baffled but haven't found one cheap.
