You can test it like you have & remove the oil cap or test in sections

pipe from turbo then blank off the throttle body pipe also blank off breather pipe during the test

Pressurising the crankcase may point to a failed PCV

Iv got a PCV revamp if I remove the oil cap it won't work as it just spits air out it
