That's how I'm running mine. Except with a check valve on the PCV hose.

Read, learn, install, enjoy.

That will work just fine.

with the pcv going to the oil catch as well then having the line from the intake as the vacuum sorce? cause now there is no way the flow can be forced past the pcv into the valve cover and cause pressure. I know there are alot of write ups but every car is a little diffrent and some people give strange advice like to hollow pcv and stuff but i just want a clean setup that works without any permanent modifications.

Your first option is the one I would do. When the motor is in vacuum your going to get very minimal vacuum via the intake pipe. The IM will provide more suction. The recommended USPlastics check valve will solve any issues with a leaking PCV valve.

THanks for the advice. alot of the other threads go off in directions that didnt pertain to me. also should i put a nother catch can between the VCover and the intake manifold? i am doing my best to avoid oil from getting into the intake tract as well.

Thanks alot!!!

A second catch can is not a necessity but it is nice to have. If you have the space and don't mind purchasing another can (or one catch can with dual chambers) then go ahead and do it.

so dual catch cans and vacume off the intake. do i need a check valve on the front can where it goes into the V.cover?

If you have the pvc going to the can, then you should use a check valve. Im currently running the jmf vented catch can. From what I took out of calans thread was that each sorce should have its own vacume. Like the pvc to can to intake manifold then breather to can to intake pipe. But like you said that every car is different. Im running the breather and pvc to the 1 can. In the future I amd going to take the filter off the can and run a vacume back to the intake pipe. I dont see the need for a 200 dollar catch can setup. The first drawing you have is the best choice I think. When you start messing with the pcv valve you might run into problems. I would just run the breather to the can back to the pipe and leave the pvc alone.

Yes you should.

No, don't use a check valve on the breather. Air needs to travel in both directions through the breather. When the motor is in vacuum you need clean air moving from the intake pipe into the CC to replace the gases that are being sucked out through the PCV valve. Then under boost the airflow direction through the breather reverses and moves from crankcase to intake pipe. So only use a check valve on the PCV side between the IM and catch can and make sure the check valve is installed in the proper "direction" so that air can only travel from the crankcase towards the IM.

Why have you not bothered to read the article that BurrowZ linked to in the very first reply? Every single question you have asked is answered there.

every one has an opinion as to why one is better than the other and every one seems to have a draw back exept the dual tank setup. so i wanted to know what is right for "me".

thank you,
