Do you need a PCV valve?
Do you need a PCV valve?
Hi guys,
Does the IS200 need the PCV valve, or can I just vent to atmosphere with a breather filter installed?
If it is ok to run without, will I then have to plug the pipe going into the inlet tract?
I don't think you 'need' one as such considering many boosted IS300 peeps have removed them entirely without ill effect. But I certainly wouldn't put a breather on the end as any oil will just back up in the filter.
I think if you intend to remove it, you should have it go to a catch can, which is then in turn vented to atmos.

I had mine plumbed into my induction kit, and it dumped a load of oil into the back of my charger! Catch can is the way to go.

No specific performance benefit guys, it's a purely cosmetic thing.
Experience from other cars lead me to believe what has been suggested already, but I just needed confirmation really 
Thanks again all.

ad:Stoney Ormi, yours is plumbed like mine was, do you not find oil is pushed into the induction kit and into the intake of the charger? I don't know that this causes any real problems? But I didn't like the look of it!
