W/O knowing exactly what you are doing this is the way I approached it. A breather box with a line from each valve cover boss then a fume cool off w/a solids recovery line to the oil fill tube. This can allow high revving pressure to be somewhat reduced as it isn't a "closed system" anymore.

An fittings are expensive and can be overkill but to each their own.

My opinion is worth something less than you paid for it :roll: :lol: .

My experience with blowby and a turbo is if you have massive blowby that shows up....it's is more than likely caused by cracked pistons from detonation and will be a ticking time bomb.
Just ask CorysVDub about it........I replaced my P/C's after over a year of fighting blowby and all the symptoms went away.

I now just use this single hose as a breather/dump hose.

Nope......Just a 3/4 inch hose off the Mexican Alt stand going in an arc down to a road draft. I've had zero issues with blowby since replacing the P/C's and getting my detonation in check.
W/I , intercooler, retarded timing or all of them is a must for intake temps over 130 degrees I have found.

Anything over 6-8 lbs is the point you really need to upgrade to something that will cool the IAT's or really control your ignition retard which reduces power along with the higher IAT's.
