Quick Q for the turbo guys

keiken · April 19th, 2009, 11:23 AM

I need some input from the turbo guys here, i have a custom setup being built, and i need to know what to do with the oil vent line (pcv) coming from the drivers side head into the intake tube, should i put a check valve in it, just go to an open air breather (stand alone one sits on the top) or hook it up normal, i cant see doing that and pressurizing the crankcase, cant see it being a good idea anyways. also the EGR tube that was on the drivers side manifold isn't hooked up right now, wondering if deleteing that will kill my mileage or hurt my motor. just looking for some input on how your guys turbo systems are setup. thanks in advance for your input

the EGR is for emissions. Don't worry about it, hell delete it. I would go with a breather and a catch can.

keiken · April 19th, 2009, 11:46 AM

yeah im thinking bout just doing it that way just for ease but i dont lke the idea of a catch can, i hate when i park somewhere and a small oil stain appears (you know if i got a spill or leak)

Delete the EGR. Either run a breather on the valve cover and cap the manifold port or put a check valve into the line so you don't pressurize the crankscase under boost. Either way works fine.

run a breather on the valve cover.
play it safe!

thanks for the imput, is there anything else required to be done with the egr other than just capping it? vaccum lines, etc? im assuming no but thought id just put this out there

I'm assuming your ride is 1996 or later (OBD2) If you just cap the EGR, you will set a MIL code like P1407 EGR No Flow Detected, or P1408 EGR Flow out of Self-Test Range. The only way I know to get rid of this event is to have a custom tune done to stop the PCM from performing those functions. You can do it yourself with a Tweecer.

^ Correct, but i'm sure he can get it taken care of when he gets it tuned for the turbo

S197Mach1 · April 22nd, 2009, 12:49 AM

Exactly. It will need a custom tune anyway so the tuner can turn that off.

LaserRed97GT · April 22nd, 2009, 10:26 PM

Yeah, true. Might as well dump the evap purge as well, get rid of that stuff, and save some weight on the front end!
