Yes sir! Straight from the future. That means I will always be one step ahead of everyone until then end of the year! But I should probably get that changed to the right date so I don't give away my secret....

40-50% leakdown? That's still a tad high. Around 20% is where you want to be. Even 30% could be okay.

75 is definitely bad.

Best thing would be to connect it back to the intake tube.

i'm not running a breather and there is no prob with crankcase pressure... breathers stink up your cabin really bad and make the car really unpleasant to drive... i just have a mike norris catch can with a y fitting from passenger valve cover and valley ports merging to the can and being pulled through the intake... no problems with pressure and doesn't use a drop of oil
