Are you talking about running a vacuum line from the intake manifold directly to the inlet for the turbocharger? That completely bypasses the crankcase, which would be pointless. The whole point of the system is to give a "positive" ventilation to the crankcase. During vacuum, it comes from the intake manifold. During boost, it comes from the inlet of the turbo. You know this already, what I am trying to figure out is how you are trying to change it around. The vacuum source is already very weak during boost, the closer to the crankcase, the shorter the line, the better. Catch can setups are a great idea in theory but to work they need to be 100% sealed up, with short plumbing of the appropriate size, and who decides what is appropriate?
