Sure a little smoke exits from under the car, coppers have looked and I reckon they think....its a jeep thing.
When I sell I will put back to original.

I have Auto enginuity and the dealers have scanned for all codes there is no fault code produced by blocking the crankcase breather where it enters the turbo.

Attached photo of tinnie, I think improves the air flows when towing a high caravan.

something doesn't seem right with that, mine is bone dry at the provent to the intake. but at first the under side of my looked like that only because i put a brass ball value on the drain hose and left it open.

I mainly attached the provent years ago because oil was pooling in the elephant tube where it connects to the turbo and also in the neck of the turbo itself. There were issues with the pooling at the connection because the red seal did not provide a very god seal and oil leaked on to the swirl motor causing it to fail costing big $$ to replace/fix.

The repair was to use the black seal which provided a secure seal and did not allow oil to drip on to the swirl motor. I did replace the seal with the black one but the oil was still pooling, the other issue is that this oil gets into the inter-cooler and I didn't want that to get full of oil over a period of time so I went for the provent to stop this as well. Since then there is no oil accumulating at the neck of the turbo or the elephant tube connection. I believe that checking the neck of the turbo and the elephant hose connection is a good test for the provent's efficiency.
