PCV update #6 - My experience

Even though I was experiencing no problems, I finally took the generally accepted advice from this board and did the #6 PCV update to one of my two 2002 lpt's (55,000 miles). Purchased all parts from sponsors of this website.
I am an average DIYer, and it took me about three hours or so. All hoses removed were in good condition, with absolutely no internal oil build up or residue. Car runs no different with the fix (runs great -32+mpg on highway!). As Swedecar has stated, the original PVC setup may not be the problem some think it is.
I'm wondering if I should spend the time to update my other lpt (60,000 miles)? I change the oil/filter every 3,500 miles with full synthetic as both turbos were replaced under warranty at around 30K by dealer due to start up smoke issue. Since it is warm in Georgia, I usually use 10W-40.
Comments welcome!
