Re: Crankcase vent filter

Do not use a filter. Audi made our car with a wet pcv system for a reason.
Sure, you should clean the ic every so often, but the amount of power you
are losing due to "restricted flow" is most likely undetectable. Leave it
the way it is. None of us want to see another trashed turbo engine in a
wrecking yard.
