I also read about crankcase oil vent reducing octane if reverted back to the intake. I took the PCV valve off and put a small cone filter on it. However I noticed 2 things. I found a lot more oil comming out of my turbo and fumes coming out of my dip stick. The oil seal in the turbo probably is to blame. However, I read that the crankcase needs vacuum to help the turbo oil drain properly. I thought the big hose going from the valve cover to the turbo inlet pipe provided vacuum, but only under boost. I eventually put the PCV valve back to the manifold and the smoke out of the dipstick went away. Just my 2 cents.
