That will work.. but my fresh air comes from my Air box..


Mine is setup stock on the Driver side with the hose goin from the Top of the Intake to the Driver side Valve Cover with the PCV check valve in it.
Passenger side valve cover is goin to the air box. Plugged off the port on the Throttle body.
Very simple..

Took the turbo elbow off last night and see i have oil making its way into the turbo.. so now its oil catch can time.

Can this cause the truck to smoke and make the turbo get hot enough to get the turbo blanket smoking? I just installed a turbo kit and had no Idea that it needs this "PCV" thing.

Yea if its puking oil..

You need somewhere for BlowBy to go.. if you leave it all stock, then your pressureizing the crank case from the port on the top left of the throttle body..

I basically plugged the Throttle body port, and ran that hose to my air box..

The way you had it set up you would be pulling oil fumes from the case through the turbo...not how I would do it...I just put breathers on both covers and called it a day. Also, my hobbs switch is rather lazy. Its a 3psi switch but sometimes wont click over until 4 or 5...so if yours is the same way you would be momentarily pressurizing the crankcase, so dont be suprised if you end up with a rear main leak...
