It's the same conundrum you're in with a vacuum operated brake booster. Eventually you have to go back into vacuum briefly, or **** stops working. Same deal here. I'd bet you'd need to be in boost for several minutes without a single swing into vacuum for it to even become an issue.

Edit: OH lmao, and, if it got really bad, the pressure would escape the breather inlet anyway, as that isn't valved. So there you go, pressure can't really build up anyway. At least having the outlet plumbed to vacuum means you get a good purge of the crankcase every time you go into vacuum.
You get the same purge everytime you go into boost, as the crankcase is positive relative to atmosphere, with none of the pressure build up while under boost (which can actually be rather substantial).

I've not messed with this on a VHR, but just offering my opinion from the bit of experience I have with FI.


You can go pre-impeller and probably get something working, but that likely gets you into other issues.
