Your terminology needs work.

PCV is just the name of the system. You cannot route PCV to anything because it refers to the entire working system as a whole which routes several places.
1. the pcv VALVE (which is what you are referring to) Routes to the intake manifold. This is factory design.
2. The valvecover T on the S13, which is just a 5/8 valvecover PORT on the S14, Routes to the INLET PLUMBING before the turbocharger compressor (and back to the oil pan on the S13)

Anybody with any basic knowledge of the topic at hand knows what I was referring to. Just stop talking. Youre splitting hairs- "OMG you said MAF instead of MAF sensor!!!"

MAF is different from MAF sensor. You have to go by context. If we are discussing the sensor, and someone says MAF, yeah we mean MAF sensor.

But if I offhanded said MAF, I might mean mass air flow. NOT the sensor. I know this would seem ODD to some, but we do not all live in the same place, and use the same terminology all the time. If I worked in a field where MAF was constantly used as "mass air flow" as in, the mass of air entering or leaving something, then it would not seem so odd.

I am only trying to keep everybody, especially beginners, on the same page. You cant just throw around the term "PCV" as if everybody knows exactly which part of the system you are refering to. PCV could be a valve, a tube, an intake portion, it could be a pumping system, belt drive or exhaust driven, it could be a portion of the valvecover, an oil separator, Think of more examples.
