Just my $0.02, I spoke with ATI and they said NOT to run the pcv valve to the intake, instead run it all the way to the blower inlet side. I couldn't figure out why I would smoke under boost...turns out the pcv doesnt work backwards, and I was blowing oil up into throttle body, from the valve cover, past the check valve.

Hope this helps!

I was told you need disconnect the PVC from the intake manifold and run it someplace and let it breath. (like next to the air filter) Even though a PVC is suppose to prevent the air from going back and preasurizing the engine, it doesn't with boost. You will also be loosing boost with it connected.

you are definately pressurizing your crank case this can be caused by rings not sealing bad pvc system do a leak down if rings are good its the pcv(positive crankcase ventilation)its a one way valve that lets pressure out there for its not being held shut by internal pressure meaning the pressurization of your crankcase it only lets it out.when the pressure inside is higher then the pressure outside the motor it opens letting pressure escape

Run your vent tube on the valve cover to the pcv valve and then to the inlet side of the blower. Put a vacuum cap and clamp on the throttle body tube.

I did not realize how important this is!!! I finally did it and no more oil coming out dipstick tube, no more blowing pcv valve out of grommet, and no more blue smoke under boost.

Go buy four feet of transmission cooler hose and a tee. A $5 fix.
