worried about pcv for your turbo car?
im putting together my turbo kit, and i fear blown ringlands. so i went to Home Depot and made my own instead of buying one off of ebay. this is not a ghetto pvc pipe setup either.
parts:
1) 1 - Husky mini-air filter
2) 3 - 3/8" Male barb X 1/4" NPT Brass fittings
3) Assorted zip ties
4) 4 - Small hose clamps
5) Approx 4 feet of 3/8" fuel line or other hose suitable for this mod. If you can find Crank Case Vent Hose, this stuff works PERFECT! DON'T USE THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FROM HOME DEPOT! IT WILL HEAT UP AND COLLAPSE!!!!
alright, so i first plugged the one vaccum source and put one piece of the 3/8 hose over the pcv valve and used a hose clamp over.
i then decided where i would put the filter. for the time being, i just zip tied it to an existing spot on the firewall.
i had already put the npt fittings on the air filter and make sure you use teflon tape or liquid teflon on the threads.
i clamped the hose to one side and then measured out the other tube long enough to reach the pre-turbo intake.
i drilled a hole into the pipe and screwed the last npt fitting into it, then used JB Weld to ensure no air leaks or the fitting from getting sloppy and clamped the hose to the fitting.
now this last part is up too you, u can either use a breather filter on the vlave cover or, run another line to the pre-turbo intake with another NPT fitting.
this will help prevent getting oil into your intercooler pipes and also from destroying your ringlands. this mod cost around $20-$25 and is well worth it in my opinion.
i will have photos up hopefully by sunday.
