My BMS Occ review.. (was smoking at idle and cold starts)

Recently i noticed a white cloud of smoke here and there even durring cold start's.. my car has been tuned for 12k miles now with 74k on the clock on original turbos still.. its intermitten and pretty much smokes whenever kinda strange i was like oh boy my turbo seals are about done.. at least that was my initial thoughts the car drives great and pulls very strong no turbo whine nothing.. then i did some research called a few techs (in a new car tech my self but VW) and was told they've been seeing pcv tube issues lately with tuned and higher mileage cars..
i needed a CC anyways and purchased one AND installed it a few days ago durring the initial start it smoked and continued to until about 200 miles or so of hard to mederate driving.. today i went out for a bunch of WoT runs back to back for about 1-hr with my friends 2002 m5 trailing at idle theres a small amount of smoke maybe idles great no more puffs or big clouds ive driven it about 250-miles as of today and im pretty please on how much it helped.. just wanted to share my (cloud of smoke story) and i have full bolt on's also as of last week.. and meth..

Sounds good man!
Maybe I should look into a catch can, I dont smoke at idle or anything but I also have my cats so theyre probably covering it up.

I highly recommend for sure it's cheap insurance! I should've purchased it awhile ago
