Lightbulb WHAT TO DO TO PCV SYSTEM 4 Boost???

Ok guys im about ready to start my turbo setup almost got everything together. I know the stock PCV system cant be used for boost because the manifold has to be vented etc? the manifold cant be pressurized or the car will act crazy...

the question is what do i have to do to it, what do i have to modify, and whats the best most efficient way to take care of this pcv issue for my rear mount????? thanks all info. is greatly appreciated

What if you just leave them vent? Maybe put filters on them?

That's similar to how my TTA was originally routed. It had a tube that ran from the top of the valve cover to the intake before the compresser housing. Then it also has a PCV valve running from the bottom plate of the intake manifold up to the vacuum block on the throttle body. I replaced the tube that ran before the turbo because it caused a buildup of oil in the intercooler and decreases the efficiency of it. For now it's just been replaced with a cheapy filter.

simple thing to do is move the fresh air feed for the valve cover from the TB to the inlet pipe before the turbo and put a real check valve between the inlet to the manifold and the PCV valve itself.

If you can't get the fresh air inlet after the MAF and before the compressor you'll always have an unmetered leak that will drive you nuts chasing the idle fuel trims If you're running an SD tune it won't matter, you can just run a small filter on the inlet.

now with that catch can does it need a filter. i was thinking if it did that would defeat the purpose, correct?
