Aftermarket intake manifolds - still using pcv setup?

About to get a Magnus v5 installed here soon and was wondering if anyone was still routing their pcv line from the valve cover to the intake manifold to take advantage of the vacuuming effect to get rid of blowby. If not, then what did you do?

Thanks for the info. I think I'll continue to reroute the pcv back to the manifold.

Well hell if your gonna do that then might as well put the other valve cover vent to the turbo inlet pipe like the factory had it. Let us know how it works out. Alot of people talk about crankcase pressure but i have never had a problem. I have ran up to 45psi and my dipstick stays in with no spring and never really have any oil in my catch can.

I will say this for sure though, If i empty my catch can and drive my car for a few days it WILL be half full off water/ethanol. So with that being said if you vent everything back to the engine inlet then its for sure going to ingest that water/ethanol. Not saying thats a problem but it has to be a power loss at some point. Gas is not so much a problem.

i'll be running an air oil separator/catch can between the pcv and intake manifold. i'm already venting the drivers side breather to atmosphere (tube running to the ground) - not an issue since i am on speed density.
