I think I'm going to run a cast tbi valve cover just to make things look a little cleaner (never been a huge fan of the stock turbo vlave cover). The tbi v.c. doesn't have a baffle for the pcv outlet in it like the turbo v.c. does. I was wondering if anyone has had any problems running the large "shield" type baffle from the tbi on a turbo head.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the TBI baffle and honestly, its probably better than than a modified Turbo valve cover.

That's what I run on my Daytona (the picture in the boostedmopar link is taken from my car) and there's no problems at all. And like Simon said, its probably better than than a modified Turbo valve cover.

If I remember right, you just need to take off the little baffle plate that screws on top of the camshaft (beneath the oil cap) so the TBI oil curtain will fit.

Thanks guys, I thought it looked like a better set-up then the crappy turbo one. Nice link Mario, I forgot all about that. I think I'm going to try something similar with an evacuation valve to the exhaust.

Going to keep an eye out for a Aluminium TBI valve cover but I have never seen one and a new one from Dodge is $250, ouch, :(

Too bad I didn't add another nipple to mine before I got it powder coated.

Let me know if you need one, they're all over the place in the yard here. I think will and I counted 5 of them last time we made a run.

I think they're like 10-15 bucks or so.
