Allen clean stop for sure. The straight fitting is for the turbo.
(we can change your kits fitting arangment yea)

if you have any breathing to the outside air, you should not be able to pressurize the crank area. To much blow can make a huge oily mess at the breather thou.

Specifically for the trick kit, I replace the fitting from the turbo with a straigth piece, then the hose comes down and over right into the front of the oil pan.
The brass fitting has about a 1/2 hole and we use high pressure, high temp, oil resistant hose.
I've drilled many holes with the pan on and off. As long as you're careful and use a lot of grease, no metal will get in the oil pan.
Hope this helps,

The stock pcv isn't enough for even 5psi, we pull the hose going from the passenger valve cover to the throttle body and that's our vent. Or install a tiny kn filter ontop the oil filler cap.
thanks,

I ran my passenger side valve cover vent to the intake tube pre-turbo since that will always see a little bit of vacuum.

We have ran that same hose over to the suction side of the turbo as well worked pretty good.

Yeah that would make more sense. I didn't think that the throttle body bung was any good for anything once you put a turbo or s/c in front of it.
