It's okay if they leak on their trailers.

If you run a Mann Provent it has a “CDR” built in, separates the oil and returns it to the crankcase.
Now I've been thinking about this. If I get a turbo, would it be ok to run directly into a catch can and then into the intake before the turbo? I would "assume" the catch can would capture the oil vapor, eliminating the possibility of a runaway, thus eliminating the need for a CDR?
Crankcase pressure shouldn't make any difference with boost and with the turbo there should be a vacuum on the intake right?
Yep but I wouldn’t fool with EBay junk it isn’t THAT expensive. Also the separator filters have a special media not a screen.One like this one?

Looks like a generic version of what you're talking about. The Mann ones are about $150

You should be cautious telling people they cannot do what they are actually doing.
Mann separators are serious products.

I am on the road now but will check my stock when I get home. I have been calling mine Mann, I have seen the product and talked to Mann at SEMA, and I think mine are real, but I did not pay $150 for them. The marketing channel can make a big difference.
You can read the label on mine here.

The only thing I can think is it has to do with the crankcase pressure which is why you have the blowby, to begin with. It does seem to be a superior unit than most I've seen. I would probably still do a road draft tube to keep oil out of the intercooler when it is installed. I have the oil pan off the engine now for the rebuild. I think I will weld an oil return tube into the pan near the dipstick tube?From what I read, it can be installed above the oil level if you use a non-return valve. I don't understand why It would need to be installed 30mm-50mm above the oil level though. It seems like the oil would drip down into the pan just fine from farther away than that.
