Ill rent the tool and do the tests.
yes pcv valve, new, passed blow test, in stock location with new gasket.
dual catch cans, vented exhaust side can. You cant see from the picture, but the hoses are hooked up to the direction of flow required by the oil separators.
exhaust side valve cover to vented catch can to intake.
intake side vc (off of pcv valve) to catch can to intake manifold.

Not sure, the ecu hasn't died on me anymore, maybe it logs now too. I just key off and key on now for different altitudes, its ok. It was a problem at pikes peak, i had great difficulty starting the car at 15k feet, but that is an extreme case, and I'm almost never over 11k feet.

I get at least that much blow by going 10/10 for 30 min. Especially in the mountains. I'm not at all worried about mine. Have you checked your PCV valve? I know those can fail or not seal good.
I'm with 18psi, get some boost in there and run half throttle

I haven't replaced the pcv valve in two years, I have two more oem replacements and two aftermarket ones I could put in there. If I can pull it out, I'll replace it. I vaguely remember it being super tight to put in.
The reality is, if I get boost, I'll still go full throttle lol.
