Ok, you talked me into replying again, at least to you personally. If you
think the list will be served by info in my reply you can reprint it.
My car had the same thing except the line went into a canister that
separated the oil from the air. the oil drained back into the pan. the air
went back into the intake. I decided that it was taking to much space in my
engine compartment so I ripped it out and put on a very,very small K+N
filter. I could give you the canister if you would like. I decided any air
coming from the valve cover was spent exhaust gasses escaping to the
crankcase and I didn't want them back into the intake anyway. Yes,
occasionally I see oil on my valvecover. When I do I clean it. The oil is
keeping the filter lubricated properly.
In regards to cooling before, more boost means more heat. I put in a 160
degree thermostat in place of the stock 180 or 190. I kick both fans on
high immediately. StarQuests with a cast iron block and aluminum head are
well known for throwing head gaskets and cracking heads. I don't want extra
heat robbing horsepower either. I suggest you do the same.
I take that back I don't suggest anything until I learn more of Peugeot.
I will give more info on why I Battle heat like the Plague:
1.The lower temperature also causes the ECU to feed more gas Making the
mixture richer to help compensate for other mods.
2. The StarQuest hood is air tight and the ambient temperature is incredible
in the whole engine compartment. You cannot touch the inner fenders after I
run the car.
This heat bothers me so much that I intend to cut holes in the hood as soon
as the body and paint deteriorate a little more.
Ciao,
John
PS. As I posted the turbo info on both lists. I think you should post your
correction on both lists.

The 86 505 turbo has a hose that goes from the valve cover to
the air intake hose between the AFM and the turbo. It doesn't
have a valve or filter. My concern is all that crap going back
in the turbo and engine. Are there valves or filters I can buy
for that? Alternatively, what if I disconnect that hose and
put a filter on the valve cover hole (and plugging the air
intake hole of course)? StarQuest John knows what I'm
talking about I'm sure :)
Part numbers appreciated (particularly Deutsch as I can pick this
up cheap at autozone)
