Thats the way I have mine routed, except my VC is routed to the intake also. Ok… so both your crankcase & your VC are routed to the turbo intake..?? How could the turbo possibly extract the crankcase gas now that you have "sealed" up both vents..?? Don't you have to have some kind of ...

Re: Oil/air seperater box

I seriously doubt that the air/oil separator box can get clogged. If you've ever looked at the insides of one, it's fairly open. You'd have to run some serious gunk through it for it to get clogged. However, the PCV valve is a pretty small opening with a spring holding it close, so they can definit...

Make sure you weld the T4 mounting hole shut. i don't recall the t4 mounting holes being part of the exhaust path… neither the T3 mounting holes so leaving them open should not create an exhaust leak in any way shape or form / nor any performance issues cause they are outside the exhaust flow area…...
