Cranckcase Vent
I didn't like the looks of oil going into the turbo, so I got rid of the hose connecting the crankcase to the intake housing. I made a cap for the aluminum housing, and then just vented the crankcase to atmosphere by the front tire. It makes white smoke that alarms some people, but it doesn't bother me much. Kinda smells sweet. Am I sick? Supposedly though, drawing a vacuum on the cranckcase helps seat the rings, so eventually, I am going to try to run the vent back to the tailpipe and create a vacuum through come kind of venturi or something.
Here is the plugged intake housing.

And the new vent hose.
