Finally got the 93 home!
Long story short it NEEDS a real breather/can solution and I am looking for input advice. The lower on it has no provision for a PCV so it all comes out the valve covers. The small oil/water separator is not up to the task so I need something better.

Oh yea it made 636/617 at 15psi on crappy 91 octane.

Yea, I picked up a catch can off ebay for like $15 bucks and it worked like a charm.. I had the breather oil cap, but with turbos it would push oil smoke out of the cap under hard acceleration. I had smoke coming from everywhere, even my air vents in the car.. installed the catch can and problem solved.. $15 bucks from ebay

OK looked a bit more today, the good news is the valve covers already have baffles in them. I am hoping to find some kind of a push in hose adapater. The black fitting shown below fits the vlave covers perfectly. This give me a 3/4" opening which is the same size as a -12 hose. Idealy I would like to find something that will fit like the PCV valve in the picture. I want to run a -12 hose from each valve cover to a remote catch can. I REALLY do not want to pull the covers to have fittings welded on if at all possible. The push in fitting would also be used for oil changes. Anyone have any ideas or input?

Have you taken a look at the remote catch cans that UPR came out with? They have a lot to choose from.

I checked them out, I dont like the small hoses. I think I have my solution figured out. Canton remote can with 2 -12AN fittings, 1 -12 hose per each valve cover. I just need to find a fitting to get the hose connected to the valve cover. The picture above shows what I am looking for.

Grover, How well does everything run without a PCV system?

I dont have much seat time in it yet. I know tons of guys on Turboforums block the PCV and have no problems.
