Can't imagine why he would say that when everybody knows that gear heads tend to not use especially great grammer and spelling probably due to the fact that alot of times they're distracted by some type of mechanical mishap usually due to some kind of oversight possibly as a result of said distraction which you really can't blame them for because who knows anything can happen at any time and one nevers knows what to expect in such a chaotic universe ruled by things we don't really understand or even are necessarily aware of or capable of being aware of which brings up an interesting point...

lol, how long did it take you to come up with that one?
PS, you missed some important commas in there :icon_bigg
Ok, on top of your valve covers, behind where your intercooler pipes should be, are two ports, one on each valve cover. They should be connected with a metal pipe. This pipe also connects to your throttle body, and the accordian hose (the black rubber pipe connected to your turbo inlet. Of course there willl some big black rubber hose (most likely) connecting that metal pipe to all four of these ports.
Now, is all of that plumbed in together?
THAT's what everyone means by, "is your PCV hooked up".
Answer that question before you type anything else in this thread please.

You win!
No matter who the person is grammar makes it much easier to read and understand. If I can't understand someones grammar and they have a long post I just quit reading and move on!
Anyways, what hose are you talking about on the head that you have blocked off? I am hoping you are not talking about the return from the valve covers to the block on the alternator side? But sounds like wicked blow by, which I am currently fixing in my car(full rebuild). Check compression and it will tell the story!
HTH,

I've never quite understood the concept of the PCV system in relation to the turbo seals... but all I do know is that it is the keystone of keeping turbo oil seals intact and lasting long. With a PCV system, the turbo will go all to hell, is what i've come to know.
At the minimum, post pictures of your engine bay and we may be able to help. If you want solutions, you have to adaquately discribe the problem first.
Discribing "this hose" and "that plug" doesn't tell much of a story. A picture is worth 1000 words.
Before you say "I don't have a camera"... consider the cost of a $100 digicam compared to your car in a pond? Or a headgasket job?
If you don't know how to resize a picture and put it on the web, it's discussed many times around the forum. Help yourself so we can help you.

The PCV should not affect turbo seals. A plugged up PCV or catch can Cletus routed can build up excessive pressure in the block...especially if you have blow-by on the rings. The pressure is the problem...it can unseat main and cam seals.

It can effect them indirectly
If it impedes the return/drain by pressurising the crankcase the Oil can back up inside the CHRA and flood the Labyrinth which in turn floods the Piston ring seal and you get the James Bond smoke screen following you!
If this happens a few times it can recover with no damage but if it happens after a hard pull the oil can "coke" leaving Carbon deposits on the Turbine shaft and this is hard as glass and will destroy the ground surface the Piston Ring seal runs on, perm smoke follows.

most times tho it will just cause leaks out the valve covers or oil pan gaskets in a reasonably healthy motor, your problem sounds more like BHG or turbo seals

That would take a lot of crankcase pressure :aigo:

Surprisingly very little
The Turbo is a gravity drain it doesn't need much to back it up, non BB turbo's are worst as they flow a bucketOoil through em compared to BB units.
One at the front/side needs to be removed, lay it on the block you'll see which one right away.bridg3r;1002618 said:
