Getting the Wheeling Fever
Hey has anyone out there moved the hose that goes from the valve cover to the turbo intake hose. Also is anyone else's spewing oil into the turbo. Took mine out since i made my snorkel and routed it into a 1 quart oil bottle. has anyone else done anything else different to keep all that bad oil out of the turbo let me know thanks.

It is an oil cooled turbo... where is the confusion ???
If you were worried about 'bad oil' getting into the turbo then you shouldn't have bought a diesel as they run dirty.
Oil and filter every 5,000kms and you'll be fine. As far as the 'quart bottle bypass' I commend you for trying, but I think its a bit much.

I presume you are referring to the positive crankcase ventilation?

Sure you can re-route the pipe into a bottle, but then your engine is violating emission regulations in just about every state and country in the world.

Why not fit a Raco CCV4500 crankcase ventilation filter (or similar) and stay inside the law?

If your engine is in good nick, the oil content in the ventilated air should not be not that much, IAC. Maybe that high boost turbo is effecting your engine?


Don't ascribe to malice anything that can be adequately explained as stupidity!
