All you need is an elbow and some heater hose, run from vc up over brake booster then under truck.
I've had mine this way for maybe 10 years never been one single drop of oil out the hose.
Looping hose up over booster makes oil accumulate in hose and run back down to valve cover.

Jim, it's a good modification to keep vented oils from entering the turbo. An even better modification if you have a intercooler, because it prevents oil from accumulating in the bottom of the intercooler. AND helps prevent the couplers from blowing off because of oil on the inside.
Plus, I read on the internet that you can add the mod to your sig and that alone helps add 5 HP. jk

lol. Maybe 10hp.
It doesn't hurt your turbo at all. It's the oils coating the I/C, which reduces its effectiveness over time, and the contamination of the boots.

^x2 I have seen you on here and looked at your profile in hopes of seeing an album of it or something, but to no avail.
sorry for adding to the offtopicness of this thread.
I think this mod would be good, but like Jim I would rather make a cheaper version that does the same job. May not look professional, but im all about how it works not how it looks...well to an extent lol

This might come in handy for those that have to deal with diesel smog inspections. Those that don't can just vent to the atmosphere.
I've seen three types of CCV mods:
1. Vent to atmosphere just using 3/4" hose
2. Vent to atmosphere with a catch-can to collect any fluids (so they don't drip on the garage floor)
3. A recirculation type catch-can, basically a hose the connects the engine to the intake with a catch-can to collect the oil in between.
I'm using #1 right now... we have smog checks here and I'm HOPING to pass when I get tested in January... If not I'll be looking for the #3 type.
I've read that improperly designed catch-cans will increase back pressure in cause oil leaks.
