Been messing around with some plastic pipe and fittings and made a smaller version of a CCV filter and installed it in front on the air filter behind the headlight. In 1000 miles of testing I haven't seen any oil migrate up the clear hoses to the turbo yet. Have had to empty about 3 oz of water and about an 1 oz of oil out. Cost for the parts, about $25 dollars. More testing and some pictures to follow when I find a digital camera. It was real simple to make with parts out of the small town hardware store. No filter was used. |

Sorry, I beat you to it. Here is mine:
Maybe I should copywrite or patend it, na, enjoy not having a very large bill in the coming years. |

Looks like we went at it a little differently. I've had a very light oil vapor about 3 inches up the line to the turbo, but it's bone dry above that. Have been offroad and pulled my boat so I've hopefully started to get a feel for how it will work long haul. |

Close up of version 2. Lets call it the Home Depot special. The insides have steel mesh and steel wool for a filter media. It filters about 98% of the oil out, I have to empty it every 500 miles.
