Crank case check valve. Where to buy?
I'm lazy and might hook my crank case vent to my charge piping or exhaust. But If I do either, I NEED a check valve to make sure boost doesn't find its way into my crank case. Ideas?

Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

how much pressure? you can get check valves at home depot for gas lines etc. but i don't really know how they're rated or anything.

If you run your vent to your charge pipe you're
effectively putting a cork in on boost. = very bad.

This is fine... People will know it's me just by looking at this text,
not my screen name.BLUE or perhaps a large .gif. Hmm.

Yea its not ideal. I want to make some stuff so I can hook it up in front of the turbo. But I need to fab piping for that.
