the PCV valve is on the rocker cover at the front on the plenum side. It has a rubber hose that goes from it to the plenum.

I removes blow by from the crank case, but when under boost it should shut and the crank case gasses go into the intake for the turbo, after the AFM.

I can see how it could possibly hurt the engine, as long as the gasses can escape elsewhere.

Hmm, I can't see any harm in blocking it then. I've got the breather line coming out and through my catch can so in theory that should be enough.

What's the purpose of this extra breather if the main one is always available for venting blow by?

The plenum breather sucks out blow by at vacuum, the turbo line is for boost. I 'suppose' its better to have it go through the plenum, as it is less likely to coat the cooler, but if you have a catch can? Sorry I dont know for sure.

I do remember old cars just had a vented/filter oil filler cap, but emissions laws require all crank case gasses to be burnt in the combustion chamber.

Unrelated id say.  

Shitty idle most likely due to 0/2 Feedback still being on, makes idle pretty crap turn that off and idle will be great.

JimX - Try altering your cranking inj times. I increased most temps in mine by about 5-10 ms and it cleaned up starting.

Sorry for gravedigging, but I just wanted to say that I *finally* remembered to adjust the cranking injector times. I increased them by 5mx across the board (to make it easy to reset if needed) and it improved starting dramatically. Wish I'd done it sooner!

Ok I may as well keep digging. What are the Kanji characters for yes/no/off/on in the Commander menus? The reason I ask is I think the O2 feedback was off all this time. This would surely have made my fuel economy worse. It didn't seem to idle any worse in either setting, so I've changed it to what I think is "on" to see if it improves my fuel economy.

So is on/yes the character that looks like a plus sign or is it the one that looks like a curvy "7"?

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
