[s-cars] Pleasant, non-oily, surprise during a FMIC swap.

[Dave Forgie]

I am in the process of replacing my 034 (Tom and Marc) FMIC with an
Apikol FMIC. While removing the 034 intercooler, I checked for oil
inside it. 

None. 

Okay, literally, one drop came out of the turbo to intercooler pipe.
The intercooler itself was clean.  Since I used to get oil in the
Michelin Man hose in the OEM set-up, I attest the lack of oil to three
things:

1. New (RS2) turbo with good seals and

2) the fact that I changed the valves that control the crankcase
ventilation system when I installed the first FMIC.

An illustration of the general location and function of these valves is

The part numbers for the valves are:

034 129 101 A = Pressure Regulating (Control) valve  (CDN$39 list)

035 103 245 A = Non-return ("bleeder") valve (CDN$36 list)
