[s-cars] Crank Case Pressure and Turbo Smoke?

[Mark Strangways]

Ok, I am going to concede a bit.
There is ofcourse some restriction imposed by the MAF and even more by the 
air filter. I strongly doubt that there is even to pull blowby gases from 
the engine.

The whole point of the Autospeed article was to MINIMIZE the restriction, 
and to add "Negative boost"... or in fact a slightly positive pressure that 
the air box... OR DID I MISS READ THAT ???

I think I have a pretty good grasp of all this... I do respect Trevor's 
viewpoint, I know he has done a major amount of work on these cars. Not that 
I don't respect's Dave's either.

Anyhow, I am not going to get into a pissing match over this.

Sorry totally agree that there is vacuum in that hose, how could there
not be?  The filter and the maf are resistors in this circuit, and the
engine and turbo are sucking thru them.  Autospeed spells this out quite
clearly.
