Did a blow by "test"

Have owned my truck for three years now and thought I'd do a 2nd unofficial "test" to see what the blow by was after 30k miles of my driving. Truck has 241k on it.

Not too bad!

Given placement I assume a regulator for his MAP sensor to limit the amount of boost it sees.

Wish my truck looked like that. Almost a little embarrassed to show how much blow-by it has...

Yeah, it had a very small amount when I first got it but was surprised that it has nothing now. Maybe it's the Archoil.

Overboost code regulator.
