It does take more, but it's not hard.

My stock PCV valve on the drivers side is drilled out with a line to the vented catch can which then connects to the intake. I also have a line from the turbo air intake to the passenger valve cover to pull vacuum on the crankcase under boost. There's no oil smell or anything, function like stock but better.

This is the setup I was wanting to do from what I understand vented catch can is better when running a turbo

Has anyone had problems getting the turbo to seal up from exhaust leaks around the turbo flange to the trick manifold? Mine has leaked sense day 1 all 4 bolts are tight and has the copper flange gasket.
