Use a catch/breather can. in that case the rocker breather you have moved to infront of the the turbo, s/c will vent the crank case. remember when in an NA situation the most crank case pressure is at FULL THROTTLE and the PCV is closed then aswell a little reaserch on the topic of the PCV with google will help a few people here. |

NO NO they are not the same, one is a can, the other is built to seperate oil from air. The one I had made uses centrigugal force to spin the oil out then it also has angled baffles inside the centre tube to remove oil vapour, you can vent this back in before the turbo it will remove 95% more than a catch can. Also it has a drain back so its self sufficient, most cans you have to empty. I choose not to run a PCV, the benefit of running one is that you remove the flammable gasses from the crankcase, the vent only system only lets out the excess gasses it doesn't actively scavenge them, which is an advantage, but something you typically only see on stock'ish cars. The deciding difference between the oil air seperator and a catch can is usually the cost, the catch can is cheap(ebay) and requires few lines/fittings, the seperator costs heaps more usually needing to be custom made, and needs 3X more lines/fittings.

At least thats how I think it all works I could be wrong.

my mistake, when i made one i used steel pipe (4") and had internal baffles and packed with stainless steel wool. worked well and it would drain itself.

I've got one that has a bolt in the bottom just undo it to drain. It's got two fittings at the top for hoses, adn i've filled it with steel wool. It's got a level indicator on the side. And then at the top there's an oil cap, going to replace that with one of those breather oil caps, and run the PCV and rear rocker cover breather into the can.

On my V8 I added 100mm alloy tube so movng pcv higher making it harder for oil to be drawn into manifold...The hose from oil filler was disconnected and joined to filter via seperator.... I have breathers on boh rocker covers they vent to filters also... A pcv keeps oil cleaner and helps keep condensation out of oil..

sounds like a good design |

I don't run a PCV on mine.
I have been meaning to set it up better but have been told not to run it directly to the inlet of the blower. Down side to my set up is the oil vapour in the engine bay

The positive pressure on the manifold side of the PCV will close it when on boost. The plastic PCV's end up breaking in situ and the bits end up floating about inside your engine. - I had this happen recently. The steel ones are the go. The catch cans are best plumbed to the back of the rocker cover and then to make it legal run another line to the mouth of the turbo piping so it has light suction on it. This is a closed system and will pass engineering.
