A+++ for ingenuity!! Beautiful ProVent setup! I know our piping is a bit different, but what would the chances of installing one in my system?

Is it needed?

Is there excess oil mist getting by the PCV? If you really want to take the plunge, it could be configured..... you would need to:

Reroute the oil separator outlet hose, cap off the oem PCV inlet
Reroute the secondary oil drain hose, cap off the oem PCV port
Acquire & fit a 318ti PCV & Dinan 318ti PCV hose adapter
Create a point to inject crankcase gases into your intake after the MAF
Acquire & fit the ProVent 100 with various sizes of hose and hose adapters rated for hot oil

3/4" to 5/8" straight (1)

When I had my throttle body off to clean it this past weekend, I notice quite a bit of oil in the intake manifold. That's coming from somewhere.

Have you ever had your X at the quarter mile? I'm going to a Test 'n' Tune in Norwalk this summer sometime, and would be interested in what the difference is in our numbers...
