Obviously the oil was coming out of the Rocker Cover Breather, so i have vented this to atmosphere and i have blocked the inlet off on the Inlet before the turbo where it used to breath to.
This has made the Turbo feel a bit more responsive and there is now no oil vapors heading into what should be only air into the Turbo. It also seems to dump the Compressed air that is coming back though the turbo out through the Air filter instead of going the easier route into the valve cover (I reckon As you can hear the Turbo More)
I think i will put a Catch can in eventually but it will only be a catch can and no re entering the engine.
Provent etc look like a Waste of time.
Just my 2c

Hey new guy spend a dollar and find out more on what your talking about...
it's illegal and iresponceable to vent rocker cover fumes to the atmosphere and the pro vent is the best available at doing a great job at cleaning the said fumes before depositing it back into the combustion chambers.....keeping the roads and your engine bay free from oil

I pulled the hose off this morning to check the backpressure (last time I did it the filter hadn't fully oiled up and not much backpressure) and this time there it was - backpressure! Gonna have to consider investing in some fly screen and pot scourers - I already have some zip ties.

I think cleaning too harshly would defeat the purpose.
I`ve said it before but I reckon these provents are a good thing for cleaning up the intake weather the EGR is blanked or not. If all (or most of) the oil and condensates especially are removed it has got to promote better combustion which results in less carbon to be sucked back in. Seems to have worked for me anyway along with the swirl control disable.

What does it do?
