I don't feel like you read my comments Mr Tegiwa! The standard application is not designed for boosted engines.

A Supra runs around 300bhp standard and circa 400bhp as the standard upgrade with no problems. A boosted S2000 generally manages 320+bhp so i guess it was easy to decide on a part from a Supra (whose engine was over designed so helps it be easily upgraded).

My car is running 15PSI and i am not convinced the standard PCV is doing its job.
You are the one who needs the Supra PCV valve

Did that with the 'Lude.

Definitely ran smoother, but still drank oil like a dinosaur.

Run a catch can, my car is boosted so lot more susceptible to bypassing the stock PCV valve, problem is if you bypass the stock PCV it will allow boost into the crankcase and put more pressure on the pistons on the upstroke which is not good and will reduce power somewhat.

The whole emissions and re-circ system on my car has been bypassed, that is all pipes to and from intake tract and from intake manifold into the cam case - the benefits are cleaner intake manifold/TB and map sensor - power will be negligible on NA.

I assume if I fitted a catch can (off pcv) and then the supra pcv before manifold that would be the best sequence?

No...

Valve cover, pcv valve, catch can, intake manifold
