okay, first off I wanna say, this may sound like a dumb thing to ask but I'm coming here for advice rather than the FB forums because I know you can barely get answers there, not the smartest dude I suppose... just trying to learn and gather some info.

let me start by saying I got a really good deal on a Powell air-oil separator from a part out recently, it was missing some basic things... but nothing too major. I didn't do any research on this item, I just heard about how good it is so I just bought it. the guy had it on a big turbo cobalt (LNF) with a TTR manifold so I thought I was good to go. like I said no research or anything, impulse buy? but also a good price...

anyways, it turns out with the earlier model TTR manifolds they didn't have a PCV option? or from what I'm reading? or the previous owner just decided not to include it? anyways, whatever it may be.... whatever.

so TTR makes this PCV cartridge thing for their manifolds. here is the link: https://www.turbotechracing.com/prod...idproduct=5473



here is a pic a buddy sent me...



the first question I guess, when it comes from the manifold where does it go?
second question, with the cartridge in there, could you rig it up to run the line from the separator from that line? I know from the separator instructions I have seen it goes from the separator itself to the manifold.



last question I guess that I can think of with being a big turbo... I understand where all the other lines go but the one that goes from the separator to the turbo?

any help appreciated, its early AM here so apologize for any spelling mistakes, grammar issues, etc... lol sorry if this is a super basic thing and simple, maybe I'm just overthinking it?

 

So this Powell air oil separator is for the port at the back of the valve cover?
If so, this would be the same idea I have fabricate here.


I too had the Powell A/O but since removed it to gain some room in that area of my engine bay. The line to the turbo doesn't matter much where it is at. it could be somewhere on your filter/intake. I had at different locations etc.. make no difference just be sure the other end goes to the back of your valve cover.
And don't hookup the line where it is suppose to go to the turbo to your intake manifold. Intake yes but not the intake manifold.

 

As for the TTR parts, you can and should hookup a catch can inline to capture the oil from re entering your intake if you were to use on TTR intake manifold. You can do the same on the stock manifold as well.
I had the -6 hookups 2 oil separators then to my custom made pcv housing then vacuum lines to the intake.

 

so one line from powell aos to back of valve cover and one line from powell aos to turbo somewhere?

 

what did you do for PCV on yours?

 

Yes any where you like along the filter/intake or at the turbo extension. It makes no difference. I "T" in to both locations thinking that it may work better but really make no difference. Just one would do.

 

My pcv is hidden inside that round housing just bellow the rectangular housing to the driver side of the intake manifold.

 

From the turbo, I'd have a 9 degree elbow going to my Intake pipe. Get a fitting in that elbow there just before the turbo?

 

Sure where ever that make it easier for you. one of mind is hookup to a 45* bung welded on my aluminum intake pipe with a hose barb housing. This was all a waste of time but I was experimenting on few ideas at the time. Find a location where you can attach your line to securely.
