I'm re-doing the PCV system on my car. I've heard that you can use a Supra PCV valve, which will help keep boost pressure out of the crankcase. But I don't know the part number or the year Supra it would have to come from. I also want to run an air/oil separator to keep oil out of my intake. Does anyone have a similar set-up? Pics of how you mounted your separator would be very helpful
Who's using and air/oil separator and / or Supra PCV valve

I only run that stuff on the 94. A TC PCV valve is a nice OEM specific alternative. I dont recall the year of Supra valves I have heard guys use. 
You can also run a brake check valve from the help section of the local parts store.
I kinda have a feeling you might want to use a heavier duty separator than the ones most of us N/A guys use. I have a rinky dink one and have removed the element altogether because it would clog after a teaspoon or so of oil had accumulated in the basin. So I now have a glorified little catchcan, and were I doing to use a catchcan alone, I would use something more robust.
I would head over to Turbomustangs. This stuff gets brought up often over there. A search should yield a ton of ideas (Jaz cans and bigger stuff like that, or parts from places like McMaster that people use).
Good luck Mike.

You want a pcv valve from a turbocharged 95 supra, don't get an n/a one. I'm running one of those on my car as well as a cheap oil seperator that is used for air compressors. They get the job done nicely.

Deadlast, If the carb cleaner comment was for me, I thought about it (Justin has been doing that himself with soap and water) but I would have to clean it once a week or so. I'm too lazy.
Mike, I used 1/4" NPT fittings with 3/8" barbs for the hose (I used fittings that turned 90* for a cleaner install since my separator is high on the firewall). I used hydraulic hose since I figured it wouldnt kink but fuel/Evap hose should work fine and is more mallable.

I ditched the element before I installed the separator on my car. I didn't see any need for it being there. I too have heard of clogging issues. When I drove my car daily, I had to empty the separator about every 3 weeks, so it seems like its doing its job.

I used a Hope Depot one. Used this link to gather the parts.

I wrote this for my '04, but it applies to anything (for parts at least.)

I did this on my '04, my ZJ, a Bronco, and my old '88 after I sold it.. had great results on all of them.
