You don't need to swing on the bolts to seal them. Just firm will do, any further and the gasket will split and come out the side.

With the pcv im not sure what most turbo's guys do but i suggest blocking off in manifold and put 2 BIG breather in your rocker cover to a catch can

just remember to put sealant on both sides of the gasket mate... As stated before just firm on the bolts not ft or youll f**k the gasket

with the PCV, iv been assured that a clean PCV wont let boost thru. but iv welded mine up and will be venting out of each rocker cover into a catch can.

as for the sump, id reccommend putting loctite on the bolts, and definately sealant on both sides, and when you do them up, as has been said, tight, but not so tight it bends the pan, the dimples are there for a reason. mine squished out a little, but IMO, a small amount of squish is acceptable.

i wouldnt use goo but if you must only use a very light film or it all just squashes out the sides and blocks the oil pickup and detroys your engine LOL
and block the pcv right off it not only stops boost leaking straight into the crankcase but keeps oil out of the plenum and stops it mixing with your fuel/air mix and cause detonation

 

[ToMMMaY]

block the pcv is a must do holy **** lol

 

[delcowizzid]

haha good to see my suggestions helped tommay

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

block it of ffrom the manifold? weld it shut? what do i do? and i have to run a breather on both srocker covers or just the one? if so how do i make a hole and where can i get breathers from?
