Another PCV question This is still unanswered from what I can see on the site as to what is the "right" way to do a PCV system. You get some that say eliminate PCV all-together and run twin breathers, some that say crossover, and -10AN on each valve cover to a breather with a vent, some say to install check valves and run to the inlet of the turbo so... here's what I was going to do:
Breather on DS valve cover
PCV on PS valve cover to catch can
catch can to inlet (filter) side of turbo.
Vaccum leaks? How should it be with what I have... Victor JR intake, low profile elbow, 78mm valve body, LS1 valley pan.
Thanks in advance fellas!

i run no catch can, Considering it but it will be closed.
I run both valve covers to a moroso exhasut Evac nipple, then i run the valley to its own.
But heres the catch, sense the moroso doesnt pull any vacuum at idle, i ran the pcv stock from the valley cover to the manfold with a one way check valve so that i cant blow out boost. So...
Under light throttle, i still have the manifold doing its job. (the reason im considering a closed catch can)
and under heavy boost i have the evac nipples. it cant pull from the manifold due to the one way check valve, so it only pulls from the valley at that time.
So basically, i made it have vacuum all the time. As long as the moroso deal does its job.
But at this point, i have zero reason to believe its not.
Have you hooked up a gauge to the crankcase to be sure it doesnt pull any vacuum? The only time I really care that there is vacuum is when Im going WOT so Ill just use the evacs all the time.

Travis - I know I know... I am, except the PCV system is not set in stone anywhere on this site, lol. Since we're building "street cars", I figured it's worth a shot. Yours will be slightly different because you've got the LS6 valley pan, which is an awesome spot to pull from without sucking oil.
Everyone else - LOL, I had thought about using the moroso exhaust scavenge kit and adding it downline in the downpipe somewhere, but so many said it doesn't work (who knows why).
