Default should I use the inlet hat for pcv air source?

im wondering if its a good idea to use the inlet hat connection on the blower hat for the procharger as a fresh air source for the pcv system or is it better to use the intake? even though ive got a catch can ill most likely still get a little oil in the system. not sure how bad it will be sucking oil thru the blower. just want to get some opinions.

having it pull from the inlet hat of your procharger gives you additional suction at idle and help pull out the air under boost.

i would suggest putting the catch can before the air inlet. so it would be valve cover-> catch can->air inlet

search pcv...several ways of doing it...several pix for illustration.

the amount of suction needs to be regulated though right? i know the pcv is regulating but would the blower pull way harder than it needs to?

what do you think is greater pressure?

your blower air going to the tb..what 2.5" or 3" tubing...or it sucking air thru a 3/8 hose?

usually the relief is never enough which is why most also have an oil cap breather.

im running the breather also, i guess my main concern is oil residue that is pulled thru the line being sent thru the blower.

thats what the catch can is for before the blower. i run this setup on my turbo car and my inlet to my turbo is clean..not 1 drop of oil.

same turbo on my car for years...rest of turbo is dirty..but the inlet blades and area around it are clear of debris, oil residue, etc
