No you need to run the hose from the valve cover to just in front of the turbo comp housing.azeli73 said:So run a hose from the valve cover to say the pipe running to the intake manifold?
quick photoshop of it...
And just let it run to nothing? Or should I get this?

The front of the comp housing. The intake side. That is the outlet side. The tube that goes from the back of the MAF to the front of the comp housing.
yeah Nick didn't see the picture. no biggy...

azeli73 said:Okay. But I can't say I've seen any FI protege set up like this. I think about 90% just have a breather off the valve cover. Now I know the stock intakes and the ram and CAI's have a hose for NA guys so I can see what you're saying.
Most people do not understand how the PCV system works. So one guy does it that way and others follow. I sucks when a vendor does things wrong because they do not know any better, it makes it look like it is right.

This is good advice.
Hopefully it solves your problem, but you may still have bad seals. Either way, this will undoubtedly help to reduce some of the oil loss. I've been down the road of a bad turbo before, so I feel your pain. Good luck.

That's how I run mine, well not since I put the new pipes on, but that is how I usually run it. I told you that a long time ago when you put it on, that you should run a line from the end of the valve cover to the intake of the turbo, between the MAF and the turbo.
I have been too lazy to put the fitting back in, but I will be doing this before I drive the car again though.
azeli73 said:Here is a list of what is being replace or added:
inlet restrictor for oil feed
return flange gasket
new oil return line
upgraded PCV valve
drilled and tapped pipe for hose to valve cover
fresh royal purple 5w-30
Next thing to do is a cylinder leak down test along with a compression test wet and dry.
