Funny- that jives with my recollection-
OEMs back in the later 90s did it more for emissions and emissions systems warranties (a distributor cap is part of the emission system)
than for all...

huh? the crankcase and valve cover are connected by the bitch tube...

If you're hearing air from the tailpipe, it's the exhaust valve, and 'under boost' suggests a burnt exhaust
