Ok this is my set up right now, basically the only thing that will change is the pump will go inline between the catch can and the turbo inlet pipe. I'm thinking about putting the pump in the IC area, or under the intake mani. I think in the IC area would be easiest.

Ian: Aftermarket ones do. But what about OEM ones? I had an old car with an OEM air pump on it and never had problems. I have heard the same thing that aftermarket pumps, belt and electric, wear really fast.

Not sure if it runs constant or not. But this is why I said I would not do this on a daily driver. It might be ok, but I don't know. A belt driven pump I think would be better for a daily, they obviously run constantly. Or do a set up like stock if you can, as it is the simplest way.

Very nice Duane!

Anyone have a link to Ron's set-up? Yes I will update with pics ;) Not sure if the pump will have any problems even if it does see oil. The Turbo Buick guys don't seem to be seeing any problems, and they have been doing it for a while. The pump has a metal impeller, and the housing is meant...

Progress in the past hour? I'm fast, but not that fast ;)

With the pump there is no TB port involved, no reversal of direction. It will always be under VAC. It totally eliminates the stock system ;)

Ok so with that info, you can see that the TB port is what is powering the PCV system. And as most of us have done to install a catch can, we plumb just from the valve covers - to the catch - to the turbo intake. This will not cut it, there is nothing "powering" the system. To do it right...

All right, I haven't seen a good write up/explanation on the PCV system for the turbo guys, so I thought I would get one going. (the N/As is a no brainier) So first a brief description on how the stock system works. I've made two diagrams to help show this. On the stock system, both the...

WTF does RHD have to do with anything..... Wish cops where like that here, we had a car stolen not too long ago. Called the cops, basically they said....oh..too bad..:nono: US cops suck! That is unless you have an expired plate tag....then 4 of them will show up with guns drawn to bust your...

Come on...you need us to come and do the work for you? There is only so much that can be done over the internet, especially seeing as "facts change every post". If you can't figure it out by now, or do the work, take it to a mechanic.

Coming from a prosound guy and I play, your rig will have a bigger impact on your sound quality, that is seeing as you are playing a LP ;)

No emissions in El Paso. EDIT: But we are on a fine line of bringing them back, so to keep from having to pay for testing, we all have to do our part to not run "dirty". They do set up testing along the roads to monitor vehicle emission output. If our average goes up, emission testing will be...

You didn't mention decel earlier ;)

Might be "normal" but still not "good" ;) High intake temps = bad Nice too see another "Springs" guy around. FYI: My IC pipes read (via an IR temp gauge) on average of 10deg above ambient. EDIT: This is with a FFIM

Did you deck the block and head? If so did you have the rear timing cover decked along with the block? If not, that is your problem. Edit: Did you apply sealant where the TSRM shows to?

Sounds to me like turbo seals, did you properly "prime" the turbo? I'm sure you did, just making sure. The #1 failure for new turbos is improper and/or not priming.

Yep, that is all it is.

Don't mind the hand written stuff on "cygnusx1". Just go off of spec ;)
