I am curious though as to why you replaced the PCV valve connection on the manifold. Wouldn't you want to leave that intact to provide a strong vacuum to the crankcase?

The PCV only works at negative relative manifold pressure so the only time it is really doing anything is idle and very light cruising to decrease emissions. All other times vacuum is sourced from the turbo inlet so I am fine with my crank being a slightly higher pressure at idle and low throttle cruise as long as I get good vacuum at WOT.
