Well after doing 2 boost leak tests my brand new fram check valve was leaking no matter what I did
I own literally 5+ pcv valves for dsms
so after opening literally 20 fram pcv valves in the store I came up with fram # FV163 for 6$
Also Gave it some black paint so it's not as noticable under the hood.
The end result was this
I used two small clamps to hold on the lower line as I do not need or want a boost leak there.
All and all if you cant find those 3/8th check valves like me this fram valve should be easily available. And for 6$ you cant go wrong.
Parts used:
Stock pcv valve
FRAM valve FV163
Stock pcv line to intake cutting required
Stock line that fits the egr valve (bigger and has good thickness and perfect fit and wont collapse under vaccume due to inner pcv line)
Clamps
Paint
It literally costed me only 6$ as I had everything lying around in my trunk to do it
Might make it a tech article after testing it for a week and doing a boost leak test on the weekend.

so I came up with this due to not being able to find this guy at all locally (pic 2)! And the price was way to high.(the ones at Canadian tire were smaller than the vacume lines on the throttle body and had two differnt sizes on each end) those were 8$. No thanks.

I ended up removing the worm clamp and press fit it together using a larger ID vacume line from the intake (super tight fit) and tested it with an air compressor . I WILL BE ADDING A SMALLER CLAMP TO MAKE SURE IT DOESNT LEAK. The end result was this
