I'm not that mechanically inclined, I understand the basic things from a hw/sw point of view (I work in automotive but not the engineering part), but I let specialized shops do the work.
The stock PCV isn’t designed for boost, so it will allow positive manifold pressure during boost to not only stop gases from venting out of the PCV, but air will also reverse into the crankcase and pressurize it more.

Signs of this are piston ring damage, lifted oil dipsticks, smoke from the tailpipe, fouled spark plugs, gasket seal failure so oil running down the engine, up to engine failure.
