Default How Do You Boosted Guys Run Your PCV System?????

Just Woundering How Everyone Mods The Pcv System On Their Trucks, I Have A 05 Serria Denali 70mm Front Mount Turbo Just Came Together The Other Night, Got It Out For A Shake Down Run And Is Burning Oil Under Decel, That When I Took A Closer Look At The Pcv System And Saw The Design Was The Cause. Still Want To Run Some Type Of Pcv System Of Oil Control.

Any Ideas???

I'm running a hybrid PCV/breather. I have an LS6 valley cover with a check valve that routes to the large vacuum port on top of the intake manifold. I have another line that runs from the passenger valve cover to a fitting just in front of the turbo, then I have a breather on the rear port of the driver's side manifold.

You can try it without a breather if you want, I'm not sure i need it but I've been having oil burning problems so I wanted to make sure I didn't have an crankcase pressure problems.

IM ACTUALLY CONSIDERING RUNNING A VACUUM PUMP WITH A BREATHER TANK, THAT WOULD SOLVE EVERYTHING

I have been running a catch can and a belt driven vacuum pump from a 6.5 turbo diesel. It completely cured all my smoking problems but it is noisy and doesn't like the high rpm's. Im gonna try taking it off and try an oil line restricter in the turbo feed line and catch can with a breather again and see what happens.

THE LT1 SETUP IS A GOOD IDEA BUT REALLY UGLY AND SEEMS MORE INVOLVED THEN IT HAS TO BE, GOOD IDEA THOUGH, POOR MANS VACUUM PUMP
