let me explain my situation a little better
normally a turbo engine would have vaccum at any point between the filter and the turbo, as a result of the turbo sucking air through the filter. normally its not that much, maybe 2-3 psi depending on how restrictive the filter is
however, my filter is directly on the turbo so there is nowhere to tap for vaccum. while another 2-3psi of vaccum would be nice to have to suck pressure out of the crank case, the only way to do it would be to use a vaccum pump of some kind, which i dont think woudl be worth it.
i still have my pcv valve hooked up of course, but if that opening in the valve cover isn’t running to vaccum, then it must be running to a container of some sort to gather any oil that comes out!
I was at nissan to pick up a new throw out bearing and pilot bearing
Put steel wool in the catch can to give oil something to atomize and form droplets on. Otherwise the vapors may just be pulled back out as easily as they entered…
