Message The vacuum he speaks of on the crankcase, nonexistent. Only a very small vacuum is generated by the intake of the turbos. Take that for whatever its worth

According to?

A turbo works by drawing in air and compressing it. This
would infer there would be a vacuum in front of the compressor.

Just for fun, take your air filter off and put your hand
over the opening. It'll suck it down nicely at idle. Then
just imagine what it would be like at 10psi of boost where
the motor is drawing in a much greater volume of air.

If there wasn't a significant vacuum TTs would see no
gain with aftermarket air filters (and this is one reason
the JWT filter doesn't do much for NAs).

I'm done though. I've argued this basic subject with a
local friend of mine for too long and I'm not going to do
it again.
