Those little filters that many install with a 90 degree hose do nothing more than soak up oil vapors and then drip all over your valve cover and manifold.

Thanks Ray. I'll be putting everything back to stock until I get my truck deleted. Thanks for the quick responses last night thru email.

you don't have to wait till it's deleted, just gut the CCV filter. and yes the plug you used need to be changed to something better.
Re: Save your turbo for pennies
You do realize the turbo spins so fast that everything spins off the blades. But there is still a very thin coating. I would chase it with some Sea Foam down the intake now. That should flush off the film.
If you really want to save the turbo, get a turbo timer
