I pulled it out, drilled the sucker...broke a nice bit in the process

It seems to push a fair amount more air now...I'll post back if it works...plan to throw the car on the dyno for a shot tomorrow..

Where can I get one?
Thanks Paul.

 

Well, it still popped my dipstick a little.

I'm leaning toward the catch can now...as it's got a small filter in it that is probably reducing flow.

It was a makeshift can anyway...

I'll work on making a proper one soon.

 

I'm sure it's at the local Home Depot. John_Z had an extra one and hooked it up

 

I'm going to put a filter on the end of my small tank, and remove the inner filter on the can, I think thats causing the restriction.

 

Sorry to bring back from the dead. So let me get this straight. It is better to just ditch the PCV valve and vent it and the front port to atmosphere with a vented catch can?

 

I'm also confused about this one, what I have is both of my valve cover vents T'eed into my one port of my catch can, then I have the other port going to the intake manifold.

I don't think it's working very well cause I smoke sometimes in boost.

Would this setup be sufficient;

Drill another hole into catch can, have each port have their own hole on the CC, and instead of using the last port of the intake manifold, moving it to the turbo intake.

 

In theory your motor wants a vacuum to pull out any unwanted crankcase pressure.

Since we are boosted, that doesn't work.

So, in order to accomplish something similar, we route our pcv ports on the valve cover to a centralized "tank" or seperator that will remove the oil from the air and vent the extra pressure.

 

What catch cans are SC people running in an otherwise stock engine bay (nothing relocated) and where are you mounting them?

BTW you should be able to find 1/2" 90 degree nylon barbs at a hardware store. I looked for one in brass and so far haven't found any.
