That is the correct method
Thanks, I bought a new grommet for the PCV valve from Advance Auto, It fits better than the old dried up one, but i'd still like to see it fit tighter into the lower manifold. Not sure if this is causing a vacuum leak. Can I just do away with the PVC and vent everything better?
I would leave it attached. Are you getting oil in the intake?
Yeah I am sucking oil, I tried putting on the stock oil cap and it ran 100 times better. What I am going to do is run the stock oil cap and run a tube off the nipple and into the boost pipe after the MAF. (with a filter/valve) Then I plan on getting a oil/water separator and hook it up the the rear PCV valve. Does this all sound like a good plan?

You gotta make sure your PCV is holding pressure. Try blowing in it while mounted in the intake. If its not holding, you will blow oil out of your dipstick tube. I went through 3 of them to get one that worked.
