I'll listen. Do you have a picture of your setup or a link to the parts?

Intersting topic as I was just talking about this last night with a few members. I was experiencing major clouds of smoke after hard braking followed by right handers at GIR (5 and 6). I knew about this problem before hand, but an S owner was telling me the AP2 valve cover remidies this problem. Appearantly not as the OP has an AP2.
They were also saying that drilling holes in the baffle of the cam cover aleiviates the problem too, but I dont know if I want to do this. I suppose the catch can will "catch' the blow by oil, but it wont fix the problem of going through a quart of oil every track day. Is drilling the baffle the only option to curb the oil consumption?
Also, is there a windage tray in the oil pan? Is it effective during high G and banked turns?

Bah I share more details than just about anyone here.
Asking 3h to learn from/utilize others experience is impossible tho
I posted all you need to know. Buy krank vents, install them per the documentation that are included.
If you have a SC, don't run the front one. You can also (which I do) vent the front hose to atmosphere.
