Default pressurized crank case/catch can??

Ive been searching for a few hours about a crank case vent system for my car. Does anyone sell a complete kit for this? I have a 6.0L and a tc78 turbo.
I have a breather on the driver side valve cover and was going to add one to the oil fill cap. To keep crank case pressure down.

This is usually the better cheaper option IMO.

Yup.....and I personally change my oil every 3,000 miles, so contaminated oil is a none issue for me.

I have a mightymouse catch can for my car. We just put one on a buddies car and it works perfectly. There are benefits to not running breathers like better ring seal so running a properly setup closed catch can is the way to go.

I too run the MM catch can with the build in PCV for boosted applications. Great quality, great price and gets the job done!

Are you looking for installed pics of your cans MM? I can snap a few for ya if you need.

Use the factory air valve and run it into your exhaust to scavange. I have it hooked up to my catch can and it maintains a vacuum there from the exhaust. Works great.

Ill take some DSLR pics of mine when its installed. You cant see where my buddy installed his because the turbo is behind the front bumper and he hid the catch can since he did a wire tuck. Mine will be in the open since it will match all my powdercoated stuff I had done for this motor.
