Hello peoples! So, as I started tuning my car, I began to notice signs of leakage from my valve cover, I take pride in my engine bay, so I promptly bought a new gasket to do the replacement but then decided to revamp the entire system as I am running 22+ psi boost. I purchased all the bits needed to go external, a VTT mini check valve, pair of Radium CC'c , plugs for the head ports and an aluminum valve cover. When the cover arrived it was done in silver powder coat which I promptly had redone in gloss black for the OEM look. Before the powder coater did his job, he decided to remove the covers to the vortex separators so that the gaskets could be removed to prevent damage during the baking process. This decision made me appreciate the UPGRADED cover as it offers the ability to open up the vortex oil separators and PCV systems (unlike the sealed OEM plastic one) to see exactly what is going on in there. To my surprise and disappointment, I found absolutely nothing!! inside the so-called oil separation system there is only open space! no baffling or mist elimination stuffing/packing to help the oil separate out!
After finding this I went out to the store and picked up some stainless-steel pot scrubs which I used as packing to stuff the shit out of all that wide open volume! this should make the system function ALOT better and prevent the typical filling up of the low side catch can.
