You never can tell these days...there are some not-so-bright folks out there. I try to throw a smilie in when I'm joking just so people know..it's hard to tell when all you have to go by are typed words..

How would you run a pcv set up on a forced induction car? the fitting on the manifold would then be pressurized and not a vacuum source would it not?

98% of the time you're driving the car, there's a vacuum in the manifold. Most cars (even blower cars) have to get into the throttle before it starts making boost. A fresh air tube that pulls from outside the intake tract (with a small filter) and a check valve in the PCV line would solve all problems.

I'm not sure how the FI guys do it (for the most part), but I'd be interested in finding out.
