CCV Delete

I've read lots about the ccv reroute but I didn't find anything obvious on FTE about a delete. When my new turbo goes in, or maybe sooner I'd really like to delete this thing.

My cummins vents to the outside air and I think the international version of this engine does too (I think I read that somewhere?)

I was thinking of doing something similar, with a small ccv filter added to the end of the hose to address suction back towards the crankcase.

I saw this thread on powerstroke.org.
Questions and Comments about the CCV reroute - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

Any comments on this set up from those in the know?
Bismic, I know you've looked at the ccv issue a good deal and I've seen your racor set up, but that's a pricey filter, even the next size down is $300 if I recall. Any thoughts on the small filter?

Thanks.

Sounds like quite a few folks have had good luck w/ the open ended hose. I know on the Org, many folks have installed a smaller filter (and hose) - I have seen no posts of any problems. I am still glad I went the route I did, but it was probably overkill ...

I would still recommend using a 1" hose though - and do not create any low spots where a water pocket (condensation) could form a restrictive plug.

Thanks.

I think now I'm going to do the 1" hose to the rear .. with a small filter.

What have you guys used to seal the hole in to the air intake before the turbo?
