Question?
I noticed on the ccv mod that I have done, a steady stream of air(and light white smoke) is being pumped out, light, but still. When I re-routed it is it enough to decrease the amount of air going into the intake. I am under the impression that every little bit helps. Should I do the Zoodad mod and how beneficial is this mod, what are the pros and cons and should I be worried about mud and water into the hole you drill?

The reason for the ccv mod is to rid the IC tubes and boots from the oiled mist that could cause a boot to blow loose, and depending on the amount of blow-by a long term accumulation of oil in the IC.
It in no way causes less air in the intake. The air is drawn in by the turbo wheel and not pumped by other means.

The vapor that are coming from the ccv should not be going back into the engine and with a turbo it is going to suck plenty of air no worries. As for the zoodad i run the afe stage 2 intake i have the zoodad and i have been through some high speed water crossings and plenty of mud and have never had a problem with the filter getting wet or muddy. i would say it will be just fine.

Is the Zoodad only useful with a non-stock intake, or is it beneficial even running stock?

I was wondering if the CCV mod would not pull enough air through the valve cover. When you have the turbo pulling air you are pulling alot of air through that CCV valve. If you stop that pull and allow it to flow free, Aren't you going to end up with extra water vapor under your valve cover?

It's not water vapor, it's oil vapor. Ever see the big rigs, the school buses, and any other commercial diesel engine? They all run their crankcase to the atmosphere.

Kris is right... I collect the condensed vapors in a large PVC trap under my driver side door, and after 4 months of running, I collected about 3-4 ounces of oily "stuff" in the trap.
I figured that there was a water component, but wanted to check by letting it sit in a glass jar in the shop for a full month. After sitting for a full month, guess what??? No water at all... it's 100% oil. The smoke exiting my re-routed hose right now is just the portion that I am not condensing in the trap.
