Default Water vapor crossover help

Hi guys I installed the nitrousoutlet water vapor bleed crossover kit on my truck with a stroked 5.3 motor and now im getting steam out of the pcv tube on the valley cover. Sorry to post here but this forum is more technical than performance trucks. We called nitrousoutlet they said its never happened to them. We are removing it and installing the stock setup to see if that resolves the problem. But im at aloss

Has this happened to anyone here? Also what would cause it? Any help would be great thanks

That's bizzaro world!!! That kit looks awesome and while it's a little overkill, should not affect your PVC or crankcase oil at all!! Hope you didn't crack a head or blow a head gasket. Check your oil for a milky mixture suggesting water is getting in the oil.

Water and oil should not be mixing - sounds to me like you might have a head gasket problem. Have you done a compression test?
