When the car goes into boost, the intake causes a vacuum to the catchcan, and sucks it right out of the valvecovers.

I also have a Oil Cap breather just in case.

Wouldent the oil cap breather defeat the purpose of trying to creat vac to pull the vapor threw the catch can?

I wouldnt think so. When the car is under boost it is going to find the easy way out. So imagine 2 openings, 1 that is sucking, and the other that is just covered with a filter.
