Title: My adaption of the wingnut CCV mod
Post by: Cheesetoast on October 24, 2006, 08:14:58 pm

working good, had to get a 90 degree elbow for up by the pcv so the hose wouldn't kink.  A lot of oil in that thing!

probably to keep oil out of the intake.  if the oil gets into the intake, it can get on the turbo which isn't good... and even make the motor 'runaway'.
