What size hose would you guys run for PCV on a boosted setup?

Gonna run a 3 port solenoid and a hobbs switch. So in vacuum the intake manifold is pulling vacuum on the crankcase. Get 1psi and the solenoid opens and pulls vacuum from the airbox pre turbo.

Think 3/8 will be enough or go ahead and go 1/2"?

I think 3/8" would be fine. What sort of solenoid will you be using? Isn't this similar to what STS does with their kits?

I ended up running the factory stuff on the diverside with the checkvalve..
passneger side i ran the valve cover to the air box so it will have clean air and pull vacuum in boost.

forgot to update the thread.

If both valve covers vents are for pulling vacuum, what the valley cover vent for on LS6 style PCV system?

Where is the fresh air supposed to come from to the crank case?

I am planning to put a small breather filter on pass side valve cover and plug the valley cover vent. On driver side valve cover, I might put a check valve or a small breather filter. All other vents on intake and throttle body will be plugged.

Is this setup ok for a turbo truck?
