As in the title really chap, there are many excellent reasons for intercepting the vent gases from the crankcase to the turbo, but until one actually sees what is happening on that section of the crankcase venting in normal use it all becomes apparent .
Only one solution , fit a catch tank on that side aswell as the pcv side.
when was altering my 1st setup a few days ago , I found this in the vent pipe, needless to say where all that crud was going to end up aswell, intercoolers to start with along with everywhere else on the air intake side of things, no benefit whatsoever of letting any of it get recirculated frankly.

I'm on a mission now chap , with all my newly acquired knowledge I hope to end up with a setup that works just right for the old bus, and doesn't look to obvious now.
 
Be very interested to see how this setup develops!
