Default Krankvent Installation on FI
The outfit selling the Krankvents used to have a very good FAQ/FYI explanation on their web site of the how/why these are especially useful on a FI setup. It's been ~8 years since I used them on my Rotrex'd MR2 Spyder. I'm coming up empty finding that explanation and/or how they ought to be configured for FI. Anyone have that documentation and/or photos (or links) that would clearly explain them?
Thanks

Have you consider a vented catch can?

Not a chance - catch cans don't address the specific problems the Krankvents were designed to solve.

It's called research, and Google can be your friend!

Unless my memory from ± 8 years ago is totally bonkers, those folks had an extensive explanation on their web site of what normally happens within a FI engine's crankcase during the various phases of driving (e.g., cruse, acceleration, max. boost), what/why the ideal situation should be within the crankcase, how a stock PCV can't accomplish that and how the Krankvents do.

I read their FAQ and did some quick google searching.
My short summary of the product is bullshit

your little mind thinks that I can't search or already know the answer after being an active member here over 10yrs??? There is a clear reason why hardly anyone uses krankvents and almost everyone has catch cans. If you question that, look at every FI build thread on here. I was hoping you could share new information, but as usual, time was wasted
