without an intercooler, is there any point in doing the CCV mod? from what I've read the answer is no..

 

yes I think there is. It still keeps the boot clean and dry on the y-pipe and keeps the hot CC air out of the intake.

 

might have to work on that some time then..

 

I use it as fuel and lube Tim!
I will burn anything i can.

yeah the unfortunate part is that I have heard a few guy report that their local Ford mechanic told them they couldn't do the CCV mod causes thats what lubes the turbo!

 

madvan, how do you use it as fuel? I'm at a loss there.. ain't it just fumes?

 

i think he was joking as it recirculates it. lol

 

tj do you beleive there is any truth in what the ford mechanics told those guys about the turbo using it for lubrication? worthwhile mod? is there a write up on how to do it. thanks, dan

Yet another reason I NEVER want to take my truck to the dealer... I didn't even want them putting my new CPS in!

Agreed, but that was the only way to get the new CPS for free. I've let the dealer do fluid changes, but no major replacements or other work.

 

I just got a Moroso weld-in nipple (heh, heh) and check valve from Summit and I am running the CCV to exhaust. I think I got the idea here, but I am unable to give credit. I will take pics and post when I find time to do it....

I am already lubing my turbo with a K&N FIPK, lol.

Dust does not count as lube! The 99 I just bought has a K&N drop in, quite a bit of dust in the intake tube I'll be ditching it for a 6637 very soon.

 

Nah, My K&N is dust free (my turbo wheel is pristine). I have the conical filter intake system and I have a $35 "drycharger" (all of it came with the truck!) on it..but I do go crazy with the red oil which provides the lube, lol.

PS- Congrats again on the new ride, Chase.

What it the part number of that Moroso weld-in nipple that you got from Summit??
