Re: pcv system for forced induction?
You'd need to run a very strong check valve to make sure it doesnt pressurize crankcase. I havent looked for one but i hear they exist. Vented valve covers to catch can works great but for part throttle a pcv is desired.
Other way is to run cover to air intake to your turbo or charger if you have an intake tube with filter. Theres always some vacuum there. Need a air oil separator inline tho to prevent spraying down the wheel with oil

Re: pcv system for forced induction?
I see external vacuum pumps recommended for big cam and boosted applications but I've never seen anyone mention them. Anyone use one? Primary use would be to keep brake booster powered but with catch can and/or filter sounds like they could be used for pcv use.
