after closer consideration and a little better of an understanding of this system I believe you are right sir. I may just try that inside of an actual venturi system.
Enkei, not worried about passing smog with this setup cause I wont even be able to pass with a catch can. That means anytime I have to smog my car I'll have to put it to stock anyway. Might as well run this setup. Besides, the catless setup is illegal anyway... actually even if I added a cat it'd STILL be illegal thanks to wonderful california. And it only costs 25 to fix. So EFF it.
The idea of this is to prevent ANY fumes or oil blowby to possibly make it into the turbo, thats why Im looking into it this way. All else fails and I opt for the typical setup it'll instead by valve cover to catch can to intake.
Damian,
You're correct and it's absolutely retarded. Any modification to the PCV system (including the wrong kind of hose) is illegal. A line to the exhaust to the untrained eye of a non car car enthusiast will easily mistake the exhaust routed line for a stock setup. If I ever make the mistake of letting someone pop my hood again.
I'm also using a filter from Home Depot (it's a husky air compressor filter at the moment) but it's volume is too small and its gettin to be a pain in the ass.
Enkei, thats ridiculous because thats the way these cars are set up. Go check your moms. PCV on the passenger side of valve cover is routed directly to the vacuum nipple on the throttle body. thats the main reason for my catch can between those two points. oil condenses and settles in the lower coldside pipe which is the dumbest idea ever.
Kdracer73, ding ding ding!!! My PCV is routed to the intake (throttle body actually), and the "breather" is routed to the intake on the turbo side. blow by will still be expelled through either location.
