Interesting! Unique!
Probably extremely effective. Interested in more details, such as would you retain the factory fill tube?
And what would your goals be?
my concept is entirely different to yours and isn't a breather in the sense you are probably thinking.
it is related to my project of grafting a 928 head onto the 944 block.
the idea is to connect (via that port you are eyeballing) the crank case to the cylinder head/valve cover to balance the pressure as an aid to oil draining down from the head.
just wanted to say you're not the only one who's noticed that weird "plug" thing on the pan and had impure thoughts...
Last night my friend asked me to check out his 944 because of issues.
He let me drive it down the alley. It's a black early 944 euro spec with 8s & 9s. Darnnnnit. It looked good. Its been a few months since I released the clutch pedal while pressing the gas.
I sure wish I could have one for the dirt & mud again.
I love the 944 so much.
This is the car for me.
I have considered other purchases... but give me a 944 that works and it'll do everything I ask of a sportscar.
God I would kill to go driving out in the country today. This was about 2 hours away from home, and part of a network of very nice little roads, or big roads depending on what you felt like driving. I prefer smaller roads to avoid going "top speed" in case I am being radar'd when the passion hits. It will be an adjustment having a turbo'd tarmac only car.
Ported the runners. After closer inspection there were a bunch of boogers in the casting that deserved correction.
Notice #1 has less material removed.
"the stock intake flows 206 cfm on the first runner & 186 cfm on the third"-LR
Based on this info:
Did a very quick removal of the 2 main boogers and didn't touch the ceiling or floor, didn't smooth out the surface either. the other 3 I removed a bit off everywhere & smoothed also in hopes of balancing the cyinders.

You are right... thats a different method for a different problemo. Is this not an issue with the V8?
Paint drying after degrease & internally blown out to remove contamination, after intake upsized from 54mm to 65mm to match the ford TB, smooth finished ramp transition.

it's a big problem on the V8 - too much oil goes into the heads and can't drain down.
1) they dont have the oil restrictor port like the 944 heads do
----tradeoff is they almost never have "chain tensioner issues" due to crazy high oil flow
2) crank pressure gas backs up oil in the drain chutes from the heads.
so if i can equalize pressure above and below the oil in the head, it should have no issue draining.
Ford v8 TB. Need to align properly to the turbo hanger. Found the hanger bore was exactly the right size but knew drilling would alter the alignment slightly.
To start I hand aligned the hanger after cutting some material off to clear the throttle stop screw. Marked it with aerosol to dictate where the drilling needs to be.
This is a difficult piece to drill by hand!
Took the time to bevel the front of the hanger to reduce unproductive messy air turbulence. Note: my buddy with a 5.0 Ford engine in his BMW says the Ford v8 guys estimates a 55mm to 65mm throttle body jumps the horse power another 25. I'm hoping for fast boost on the low end. I want low end response!!
