The CCV mod is easy. I don't think that the oily residue has any benefit since it only gets run through the compressor side of the turbo and ends up making a mess. You also have to consider the amount of oil that accumulates inside the Intercooler. I turned the "Doghouse" around and ran a 3/4" hose up about 5" higher than the doghouse exit, this allows most of the oily residue to run back into the valve cover. Then it exits into a cannister mounted on the frame rail by the oil filter. I used a small drain valve used on air compressors on the bottom of the cannister to drain any oil that gets into the cannister. Then it runs out the back.

Since the original CCV is a positive style CCV, meaning it actually pulls a vacuum off the vent, some have reported developing oil leaks form built up pressure inside the Crankcase. For me, I have had this mod for about 40K and have not had any problems.

There are a lot of good options out there, have a look.
