Default Upgraded pcv for Ap2 valve cover?

What options are there for an upgraded pcv valve on an AP2 valve cover? I've seen mention of going to a Supra pcv on AP1 engines, but I assume that won't work since the AP2 pcv screws in. Has anyone tested the AP2 valve's resistance to boost pressure?

Are you saying it's the one screwed into the valve cover, or its inside the tubing?

What's to upgrade on a PVC valve? OK I'm seeing you're boosted.

I did the same exact thing. Just cut the factory intake manifold->valve cover tube and put the supra PCV inline.

Ours aren't designed to withstand positive manifold pressure, allowing them to leak pressure into the crank case, which in theory will rob some power.

Hmmm... I'm only making 13.5 PSI with a C38-91 blower. I would expect more. Maybe my PCV is leaking. I'll cap it off and make a run to test it.
