Whats up guys? New to the site, was hoping someone can help me. I have a 2002 3.9 dodge dakota that has been turboed. I was looking for info on how to hook it up and read somewhere that a boosted hookup is different than OEM. Is this true and if so would anyone be able to give me hook up instructions with details. Just in case I was vague Im talkin about the oil catch can hook up. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx Tony

Easy. PCV->Catch Can->turbocharger air INLET.

The goal is to have the catch can and PCV under constant vacuum, even when you're in boost. Out of boost the intake manifold provides the vacuum, in boost the only place you will find vacuum is between the air filter and turbo charger.

Some people just vent it to atmosphere, but I always advise against that as you can run in to crankcase pressure problems under boost (I did).
