I'm not exactly sure, but my understanding is that you aren't supposed to recirculate from the crankcase on a boosted engine. It causes a lot of problems. Oil from the crank case would get back into the intake, into the engine, burn, and cause smoking. Eventually I guess it can cause filming in the turbo and intercooler, and after a long period it will build up and reduce the intercooler efficiency. So the oil needs a place to go. I dunno if that's right. But that's what I heard.

Rep Power: 288 you can recirculate it into the INTAKE of the turbo system, just not any of the charge pipes. The valvo cover gasket is not made to withstand boost. If you run it to a pipe that is pressureized, it will blow your oil all over your engine bay.

Rep Power: 307 why not just mount a breather filter on the end of a hose and run it low in the engine bay where oil wont drip all over the engine bay?

Rep Power: 288 normally, you will only blow oil out of the breather filter if you have a blown piston. Believe me on this one, i went through 3 engines on my crx. The only time i had oil coming out of there was when the pistons were cracked.
