Has anybody had problems in supercharged application of blowing the PCV out of its hole, grommet and all. Any remedies? Causes? Thx for all answers.

do you have that line hooked up that runs from the tb to valve covers? if so, you have to get rid of that because it would send boost pressure into areas you dont want it

That line is disconnected. Anyone else?

is the pcv working as a check valve properly? i pulled mine out the other day to replace the worn hose that was on it and put on an oil separator. the hose was leaking but i checked to make sure the pcv was working. if its letting air into the engine then of course it will blow out.

I changed to a SVO PCV on the recommendation of a highly knowledgable Mustang /Ford Technician. This was done about 8-10 years ago. never gave it any thought again. He said it would alleviate added block pressures associated with a turbo/blower application. I checked it the other day after taking the car out of winter storage, that's when I noticed the grommet out of it's hole. BTW, PCV is working fine. Sprayed with carb cleaner, good as new. Any more thoughts?

Are you venting your valve covers at all?

I did have the FMS breather cap on. I removed it when I found the PCV out. Wouldn't this have vented the crankcase pressure?

the PCV isn't meant to handle much pressure, that's why it's blowing out. I have a breather run 9lbs of boost and have never blown out my PCV.
