There's been some good discussion on PCV modification, but at the end of the day we just want to know what works for the high HP/boost race cars.
Have you:
Fed both sides of the valve cover into a catch can and capped off the intake?
Enlarged both holes on the valve cover for said catch can?
Retained the vacuum via the PCV valve & intake manifold?
Please enlighten.![Makeout](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/makeout.gif)
Cheers

Believe it or not, I've still got the PCV on my 1.6 and I'm guessing, when running at 20#, that's adding to my smoke puffing when going into sudden vaccum - if it's puking oil mist out my DIY-FAIL catch can, it's doing the same into my intake (when lifting off throttle). I never really gave it any thought and thats why it's still there. After getting a CC that works, will do what you said Spooky.

I'm still getting a little oil hitting the belly pan. On my todo list is putting in a real catch can, then pulling the IC and cleaning it out (that sounds like fun).
