i keep blowing my dipstick out not much but it comes unseated

here is a MS paint pic i drew up real fast showing how my PCV is running with my blower

if this is wrong please let me know what i need to change

and if not what is something else i could check

View attachment 363399
my PCV goes into the plenum like stock. the valve is new all vac lines are new also ( if it matters)

my valve cover fillter neck has a line going to the powerpipe (after MAF but before SC

and my TB brass 90* fitting is capped off.

i am thinking about capping off the PCV and running some breathers. i have no emissions testing so it doesnt matter.

Most likely you are just forcing boost pressure into the crankcase.

You can discard the pcv and install a pair of breathers on the valve covers
OR
Install a check valve which will prevent airflow from the upper intake into the crankcase.

I'd try the check valve first...

let us know,
jason

My buddy had some pcv problems back in the day with the first blower that we put on his car. He ended up just ditching the pcv system, and running one screw-in breather in the stock fill tube in the valve cover, and it works mint.

The check valve goes between the pcv and the upper intake.

The idea is to prevent airflow from the upper intake into the crankcase.

Currently, you are dumping your full 5-7psi of boost into the crankcase

hmm i always figured the PCV valve was a one way valve...

or maybe the boost just is too much for PCV
