like the title says what are you doing for a Turbo Crankcase setup?
I have a TDI with the breather thing for the valve cover but I think that I need a breather between that and the crankcase
thanks in advance
later

I'm all stock. It seems to work just fine for a healthy (and even not so healthy) engine

what is stock exactly? I ran the hose from the crankcase to the breather deal on top of the valve cover, when I shut the engine off I can hear the pressure slowly releasing and I think that I need to let the crankcase breath more

I must have an unhealthy engine, it's got 188,000 miles on it. When I attach a hose from my valve cover to the intake plenum it blows my oil dipstick tube out and starts to spew oil. So I ran a hose from the valve cover to the back of the car. I have more smoke coming out of the tube than I do the exhaust. Is their anything I can do or should I just run it.

Sounds like an A2 NA.
Did I guess right?
If so drill out the restrictors in the intake manifold.

The vent on the crankcase must be a Turbo Diesel thing cause there isn't one on my NA

My 97 TD has the lower crankcase vent which I covered and just run a piece of hose from the valve cover and it hangs down by the steering rack. No oil dots on the back of the car. No oil in the intake.
