Depends on how much blowby you have. Mine went 1000 miles and had about 1.5" of oil in the tank. It comes with a valve you can twist to drain it. You can actually put a fitting on the bottom and hook a hose to it and run it to the turbo oil return fitting. As long as this hose is small, you can leave it open and it will auto-drain whenever you're not under boost.

hey Stinger,
i have a question about the crankcase vent itself. does it have any o-ring or rubber gromit where it goes into the block? do they go bad? its loose and i wasnt sure if there was some kinda seal there or if thats normal. i getting ready to install head and intakes and would like to address it before hand.
thanks
Cody

How goes it?
Been having blow by issues. Vented the valve cover, O ringed dipstick tube and rtv'd the snot out of it. Still yet having oil blow out and its raking at my nerves. came across this system of yours and i had my father in law check it out. He mentioned that i would have moisture issues in the valve cover in the winter. Pretty much curious as to whether anyone has had an issue with this in regards to this setup

If you're referring to moisture if it's just sitting, I suppose any open system could have some condensation (though engines condensate with a closed system as well). It will burn off quickly when the engine comes up to temp.

Stinger have you or anyone ever tried the crankcase evacuation system that ties into the exhaust? We put it on our mini stock and it eliminated all blow-by and leaks. Just wondering if it would work on a turbo setup.

I haven't tried it but I've seen some people do it. It's critical to have a restriction free exhaust for it to work and this is more difficult (but not impossible) on a turbo car.

I used this set up for my system but I used a -12 AN line out of the the block with no PCV and then a -8 off the valve cover to my catch can, works great.

Would there be an issue to mount the catch can at a lower location or would that make it suck the oil out of the crankcase?

How much lower than the factory crankcase breather do you think you can go?
