Im new to this only had my zed a couple of weeks.... can someone tell me what these are... what they do...and how they stop turbos smokin.

PCV valves are Positive Crankcase Ventilation valves, & as the name suggests, they are there to release pressure in the crankcase. over time they can get blocked up or the springs can become weak.

 

there are 2 of these & they are located on either side of the plenum, towards the rear.

 

the breather hoses are at the front, & have a restrictor & flame trap, again which can get blocked over time.

 

HTH :)
