I'm sure this question has been asked before. Why can't you just disconnect the PCV tube that feeds the crank case gasses back into the aftercooler and engine and let it just vent into the open??? I know that in some states there are inspection criteria but just hook it back up before your inspection. Seems like an easy fix.

U need a draft tube with specific design to pull vapors out when driving down to road if you did so, otherwise you have an extreme mess all over motor. Round tube cut at an angle.

People forget how much crap comes from the down tube, the 50's and big V-8's proved reason for the properly designed PCV system to begin with was paramount to "a good life." Properly designed PCV system to work properly in all conditions are the necessary criteria. Reason for the law change and The minute "go racing" in a sanctioned event is brought up the proper design PCV system is included.

Are you sure about that? Give this last sentence another quick read and tell me what it means:
