[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15712771, member: 8854"] I would guess your smoke at start up is valve seals or valve guides, not PCV. On these cars the PCV oil collects in the bottom of the intake and usually doesn't have a smoke on start up effect. As for running a catch can. It'll slow down the oil but it does not eliminate it. If you think the catch can is keeping your intercooler clean you're mistaken. I've tested this many times over the years on a variety of cars, types of engines, n/a, blower and turbo cars. It definitely slows down the process but catch cans do not entirely eliminate oil vapors passing through. [/QUOTE]
