Let's face it, people see something on a race car and try to emulate it on the street. Not everything seen on a race car is a good idea for daily use.

if there was an exception then he should have stated that. he said that he has NEVER in his life seen it trying to insult me.

and maybe this guy has a race car, he never stated that. all he said is that he wanted to remove it and asked how.

I personally have seen a problem caused by doing this.

I had to bypass my PCV system because of my turbo and leaky rings. It was a high mileage motor and had alot of blowby.
The oil was constantly dirty and felt more watery or broken down that it probably should have. It's very likely that disabling my PCV system led to or at least helped lead to my spun bearings and ruined motor.

You can take all the cheap shots you want, and insult my technical training all you want.... but you were and are still wrong, and I think its obvious to evryone who has read the thread.

I think everyone had. You're a couple days late to the party.
