Default RE: Oil Breather?

1)PCV, no breather.

2)No PCV, 2 breathers

3)Crankcase evac.

With EFI those are your three options. I'm guessing you have a cluster**** of 1&2? That'll do it.

The only time PCV + breather is an option is carbed.

Why would you use octane boost? You shouldn't have a need for it.
