@Mijae007 yes, -12 from the catch can to the exhaust port, it will have a check valve in that line with flow toward the exhaust and a check valve under the filter, so the crankcase can vent out of the filter at idle, and once the venturi is strong enough to pull a vacuum the filter check valve closes, and the vent line opens drawing all the excess crankcase pressure into the exhaust, the catch can is baffled so it will condense almost all of the oil and water vapor and then the very small remainder will go into the exhaust, but the resonator and muffler are both straight through, it won't cause any fouling problems with the exhaust.
Sorry but my inquisitive nature has me asking more questions. Do the new port sites on the opposite side of the vc have the same effect as the factory locations (pcv [center] and crankcase vent [front])?
and because of the way (angle) the scavenge pipe is welded to the exhaust, does it actually create positive vacuum under idle and throttle out the exhaust? Im concerned exhaust air will still get pushed out that way up into your catch can instead of drawing air out...
if this works the way it was intended, i may just have to reconsider my setup too!

This is very interesting. Ive debated so many different catch can setups when deciding mine but never came across one like yours.

No problem, I've got some final finishing up to do with it and need to hook up a manometer to adjust and maximize the venturi in the exhaust. I'll post up with my results when it's all finished.

I say this with much regret, but if anyone is looking for a PTuning kit, Option 2 (everything but the intercooler) with the GTX3576R Gen 2, shoot me a PM. It's all new and in the original packaging from PTuning.

The CAN gauge/Gauges are the way to go. Ask Dustin about getting it to work on flashpro, He may be able to help. With the AEM computers, it's really simple.

I run the AEM Failsafe which is the two in one boost and wideband. It comes with the wideband and then you just have to run a very small vacuum line up to the gauge.
