A word of advice on the bypass.

The coolant line is part of the connector that goes into the intake pipe, which means that you cannot use that connector. I am using a double sided bayonet type fitting that is designed to connect two hoses. It is too big and causes the hose to enter at an angle, which is also due to the fact that without removing the PCV coolant pipe you have to route the house differently. This unnautural angle causes a slight vac. leak where the hose enters the turbo pipe. The solutions is this: Instead of using a bayonette connector, use a breather T connector like the one on the valve cover that is attached to the other end of the PCV hose. Use JB Weld or some other hard core epoxy to seal off the small vac. hose connector and you have a perfect, angled connector which accomodates the new angle needed to re-route the PCV hose.
It works great thus far.
Good luck
