VTA both, your head ports are plugged so no vac leak etc..

rules out the PCV. they are just there to promote ring seal, and to evacuate the CC gasses.

i dont recommend running it forever like that, it stinks and will have terrible response. this is purely for "Science"

Honestly i wouldn't worry about it then, thats kind of inevitable at your point, pcv setup should be fine, only thing id recommend is running a can in between your turbo and high side

I had this same setup and saw all that in the oil cap and in the catch can, and it turns out i cracked 2 pistons and bent 3 rods

Looks normal to me. Most of these cars look like this when the stock pcv system is altered and they are run in a colder climate. I wouldn't worry about it too much man, you've already checked to make sure the engine is healthy.

Car rips and there’s no smoke under boost or anything. Just that and these N54s scare me!

This is typical in my experience during the winter. It clears up during the spring and summer months. Mine looks just like yours right now (I'm in Iowa) and I just had an oil analysis done. 0.0% water and 0.0% coolant present.

all the ADE delete does in your config is change the vacuum source, and yes you still have a PCV hence the Vargas check valve.

Seems like this guy has a basic check valve, not a PCV valve (he deleted it with the ADE PCV delete fitting). There is a significant difference between these two pieces of hardware.

My thoughts if anyone cares: Remove the ADE PCV delete fitting and add back in a PCV valve via an RB External PCV adaptation assembly fitting (since your head ports are plugged). Your existing add-on check valve, OCC, and vacuum reference fitting can be retained. Without an actual PCV Valve you are going to be pulling in wayyyyyy more air volume through your crankcase than what is desirable/needed under low load. This could be a reason why you are seeing more condensation/water in the crankcase.

Thanks,
Rob

That makes sense to me. Can I purchase the external pcv from you? Not the whole kit, but just the external valve

Never said the high side was blocked. The pcv is the low side. That fitting blocks off the passages to the intake side

That appears to be coolant in your oil...especially since it is in your valve cover region.
