Is it best to have the pcv functional? As ive heard some people blank them off on turbo builds etc?
For the sake of emissions, it ought to be plumbed back to the intake. Failing that, use a breather filter to keep atmospheric dust from getting in there.
I'm not sure how critical they are for your MoT inspections; if you tried to sneak a disconnected PCV hose through a California smog test, you'd be drawn & quartered.
