RealityCheck

Normally, one would have the PCV valve hooked up to a vented catch can, and back to the intake manifold. My setup is PCV to vented catch can, and IM port capped off. Now my issue is that I seem to get somewhat excessive oil sludge from the valve cover (in front), which is connected to my intake tube. I figured that the fast build up was from excessive pressure from the crankcase. After several searches on PCV discussions from other forums like Honda, Silvia/Nissan, most say that it should not be routed back to the intake manifold, because the vapors will coat the inside, and reduce performance. One person says the opposite, and claims it does help performance (while not having unmetered air in).

The reason why I set it up like that and capped off the manifold, is that whenever I would go on a turning ramp, the oil shifts and gets sucked into the manifold, therefore killing throttle response and the engine does not get power for those quick 3 seconds. It happened often on my old engine. Ever since I got a new engine, I capped it off asap to prevent crap being sucked in from the PCV. What's your preference on this? I have never had a bad idle problem from my setup.
