Thank you

There's definitely a performance optimization if you dumped the need for the factory crap ass PCV flap.

ohhhh that looks good! damn the engine cover when you can show off this beauty..

I heard from a reputable engine builder that the VTT Valve Cover has an issue…the front PCV tube gets a lot of oil spray that goes right down to your turbo, or an OCC fills up really quick. There are a couple small holes inside the PCV connections but they're not stopping the oil spray off the valve train chain. My guy suggests VTT add some sort of screen or shield inside the opening to prevent the oil spray sucking into the PCV tube.

Chris, any more info on this issue?

Did anyone have the same issues as listed above or find a solution ? I was looking to purchase a valve cover but worried about having issues.

Be aware if you want to buy this cover. There are issues!

I purchased the cover and the cover eliminated the stock PCV valve. Which means you will have to run oil catch can. But the problem is it fills up too quick. I drove the car 3 laps on a track and the catch can was almost full. I also opt to the breather valve, be aware, if you put the breather vavlve on it will just spray engine oil all over your engine bay and on the track too. Not sure why this is and if VTT actually tested this product under hard driving condition.

Did you find any resolution to this? I’m currently having this issue I have a single
Turbo build and I’m noticing a large amount of back pressure and also heavy leakage out of my breather and catch can!

You can't drain the catch can back to the oil pan? That's what most PCV/oil separators do anyway.
