your lucky you didnt blow your rear main seal.
I only know this because i couldnt figure out y i kept blowing valve cover after valve cover gasket. but if you think abought it all the positive presure your pcv is suppose to vent into your intake is doing one big circle and it has no were to go .hope i shed some light on this .
Also do a search on my name i had this problem others like hissin50 and mr micheal yount helped me a great deal.

Did you change the PCV when you did the install? Did you disconnect the vacuum line that goes from the T/B to the oil filler?

9T3SVT said:For one, the breather is not the answer and I wouldn't even reccomend it myself. For two, removing that line is exactly what he needs to do. It is a clear step for any S/C install and leaving it hooked up will cause bigger problems.
So yes it is a big deal and he could have a clogged PCV anyway. That too is yet another skipped step during his S/C install. All the blowers I have installed say you need to replace it.
All we are doing is offering him the right advice, you seem to just be telling him what fixed your car.
