pcv question?? for you forced induction guys
I plan to cap off the TB and stock VC openings. Going to drill the tops of the VC's and put fittings on them then, just run rubber hose to a vented Mighty Mouse catch can. Simple and relatively cheap

I run a RX Monster can with a 1LE breather. It's been working great. If I were buying new now I would go with a Mighty Mouse setup or something custom like what LMR makes.

I have nothing. I cut the end off an old stocking and zip tie it onto the pass side breather pipe.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I get no
blow by. The drivers side is just open, but was factory restricted to a small orifice on my L33.
I'd have a vented breather tank if I needed one.
I use that VB port as my boost reference.

There is a performance benefit to a proper PCV that lowers crankcase pressure during wide open throttle.
There is also an oil quality benefit to running proper PCV. A street car that see 3k miles/oil change needs a PCV system if it wishes to maintain it's oil quality.

I never thought of a performance gain with proper pcv. That has to be tiny.
I see your point on oil quality. I change mine about every 1500 so dont think its an issue.

for street cars running a pcv off their intake manifolds (or turbochargers) there will not be as much of a vacuum signal, but the benefit is still there to some degree, and is practically free so why not since it comes with so many other benefits like cleaner oil.
I highly recommend the exhaust driven version- if you can verify that it is working by logging the crankcase pressure over time.
