With a roots blower, can the PCV hose still go to the carb? If it's turbocharged (blow through), should the hose go in front of the turbo inlet? What about using the valve covers with just a filter (or 2) without using the PCV? thanks.

The header has some smudgies on it but any blow by is quickly dissipated. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
