Crank case breather and deletes
Has anyone deleted the breather hose from the valve cover going into the compressor side of the turbo? A puke bottle or just a hose hanging down might work and help keep the compressor side cleaner. Thoughts??

I haven't deleted the tube to the compressor yet, but when I do I'll probably use the one Glacier Diesel offers...

Much as I like Mr Richards stuff just go to Autozone or OReilly and get a small piece of 3/4 hose and a small filter. Plug the other end. Done
Less than 10 bucks.

I guess I don't get out as much as I used to but I haven't come across a filter like that, I haven't really looked though. We don't get Autozone or OReilly here and being retired I'm kinda out of the loop. Until recently I was trying to keep the 2011 trucks stock but I now realize that's not possible.

I just unplugged my valve cover PCV breather line that goes into the turbo compressor housing. I just left mine to drain along side the engine and I put a plug into the turbo line. Very little oil will drip from that line, so I wouldn't worry about the a oil drips.
I don't even have any breather lines on my 02, it just dumps freely out the gearbox. If you install another filter you risk seal issues (more oil leaks)

This may sound like a stupid question, but do I need a programmer to remove the CCV tube? I don't feel comfortable with it running to the compressor so I was going to just plug it and reroute the hose to the bottom of truck like in my old 03.
So can I just go ahead or is there programming required?

You should consider removing the air silencer on the suction side of the turbo compressor. It just falls apart throughout the life of the truck and goes into the turbo.
