I passed smog with a STREET CHIP, 60#ers, 60-1 [unhooked WG] and hotter plugs, oh yeah... with a Small 2" Cat..... like said they are probably way more strict... i have breathers on both sides and they didnt look because i passed.....

The passenger side rocker cover, originally was routed to the inlet of the turbo.

There is an oil-separator/baffle that inserts directly into the rocker cover, then a flex hose into a side port of the turbo inlet.

any ideas where i can find these parts?

Likely GBodyParts.com Online would have the parts, or post in the Parts Wanted subforum, or search in the Parts For Sale subforum.

A piece of plastic tube or pipe inserted into the rocker cover's grommet, plus commodity flex hose, would probably pass visual and would function equivalent to the OEM setup ... but probably pass more oil vapors into the turbo. The OEM oil-baffle device was quite effective. But the home-made setup may be enough to get you thru smog inspect.
