1G Another catch can question

[dugan33]

I'm in the process of piecing together my catch can setup before my tune at the end of the month. While do some research I came across some info that I haven't seen on this forums. I've read calans really informative tech article but I wasn't sold, or didn't want to be, that the sealed eBay catch cans are worthless.

I have 1 really nice catch can that's vented with 2 big filters and it's properly screened. Then I have another sealed eBay one. My original plan was to hook up the vented one inline with the Pcv and intake manifold with the check valve and the sealed one inline from the breather to the turbo inlet. I have not tapped or done anything special to my vc and don't plan to for right now. I have 3/8 auto line all around including into a 90deg barb fitting off the 8an.

Is there any use in my setup plan or is it a waste of time?

I recently came across an article that turned around my understanding of the Pcv system and possibly my gameplan too. http://www.jackstransmissions.com/pages/jacks-pcv

What should I do and I'd like more real results from people with similar catch can setups. Eventually I might get the nerve to tap in/ weld larger barb fittings like in the link.

Did you ever finish your catch can setup? Any pics.

sometimes i read that some people don't like the vented catch can.

For some reason I didn't get notifications on this thread but ya I did finish it and then redo it again here's the first setup I had

I took my car to get tuned at Boostin and they said that setup just wouldn't fly with 31psi. Mostly cause of leakage from the vented can I guess. They ditched the sealed can and just ran the vented like in the pic with stock Pcv in place and manifold port capped off.

Not sure if you can see it but in the 2nd photo I put the check valve back in and deleted the Pcv valve cause I had crank pressure issues.

It's really important that if you buy a barb fitting the thread is 1/8 bspt NOT NPT
