No the PCV valve hasnt been gutted. I have never been told to do so
How do i gut the bitch? I get so confused as so many people say that this set-ups right, you wanna do it this way etc..etc.. Seems to be running sweet. :noidea:

The PVC will need gutted, so it can breathe like the breather.
The PVCwill be shut all the time the way you have it setup, as there is no vacume pulling it open.
Basically, take the PVC off the cam cover, and split it at the seam, remove the ball and spring and glue to the 2 halfs back together.
This in turn will let it breathe under any circumstances.
Hopefully this clears your querey up.

Many thanks for your reply dude.
Ill give it a go. How do i remove the PVC valve from the rocker cover though? It just wants to keep turning round lol. Do i have to take the rocker off to get it off? & will it cause damage if i dont gut it?
Rep added btw

Rory, I`ll be fitting my catch can soon but it doesnt have a filter on it, will i be able to set mine up the same as Blak Mamber (gutting the pvc) or will i need to let the can breathe?
Also, do you just block the bit on the intake manifold?
Sorry if its been covered, i end up confusing myself trying to figure it out!

You'll need to let it breathe if you do that set-up or a huge amount of pressure would build up in the can! You can either vent to atmosphere like that set-up; so two breathers off the rocker cover going to a can which has a breather filter (also blocking up the inlet mani) OR the two PCV valve set-up where it goes from rocker cover via PCV valve to a sealed can, then to the inlet mani via another PCV valve. Like so:

Haver a look for pictures in this thread of how ive set mine up.
Basically ive run a line from the normal breather, into the can, but ive also "T'd" into this line from the Gutted PCV.
Then with the spare port on the can, ive run it under the car for the vacume to pull the gasses out.
This way means you cannot get anything into the inlet manifold to contaminate the charge.

I know this is a rather older thread but I have a 92 Paseo with a ct9 turbo in it. atm i have the breather hose not connected to anything and have to vent it bak into the intake somehow (make emmisions laws Canada). BUT ic that since u are using the 4efte engines that the cover is different.
my pic of my engine (old, is cleaned up)
the hose that im having problems with is to the right of the pcv valve. it is not blocked, i removed that screw in the end. lol
So what u guys recommend me doin?

is it fine to do it this way, with two pcv valves as the above setup? im after a Cusco catch can with only 2 inlets which im using, after i read the whole thread, it looks that its a workable solution, more input will be appreciated!

yea you can do it like that the second pcv valve is only to stop thecatch can from pressurising when you come on boost.Theres many ways of doing it as shown in this thread its all down to what people prefer.

thnks guys! so another 4efte pcv valve will be ok, i'll try to find one till i come to fit mine
