I'll post this...

20 is a bit too extreme. Following quote from a different forum from a racer with mucho professional class race experience. "A very small amount can be very helpful. It's those first few inches that really help the power. I would take 1" over nothing any day and go to great lengths to get it."

EDIT: I'll gladly take 5" from any cheapo pump that will last longer than my last oil change. Anything is better than any amount of pressure buildup in the crankcase.

If your turbos are pressuring the base,put a one way check valve in the PCV line..On blower cars that's what I do.

Post the entire post instead of picking "parts" to disagree with. The message as to WHAT ya disagree with is out of text and incorrect.
