crankcase evacuation
Does anyone make a crankcase evac. kit that will work on a C5? I have a PTK kit on the car and I am presently using a small filter on the valve cover. I have a feeling that this is not going to work for very long. Under boost the filter gets saturated pretty quick.
Any ideas?

How did you work around these two issues?

I read about A&A's ecav pump, but I don't think the location issue is resolved with power adder applications. Why not try a passive system. Run a zero crack pressure check valve in place of the pcv and a check valve at the valve cover breather (lets air out of the system, but not in). That way you can run the crankcase under vacuum without a pump.
