Catchcan setups with F/I So I have a catch can, and a breather.
I want to remove the breather from the driver side valvecover and block that off, then attach a catch can line to the pass side cover and run that to the catch can?
Or is there a better way to set this up?
Also, should I try and get a vac source on the other side of the catch can or will simply routing the line to the valvecover be enough?

Some guys go from the can back to the intake with a check valve to keep the boost out of the can. Or you could use your inlet at the turbo (many have a fitting or you can install one) to draw air through the can.

I use the inlet by the filter for vacuum," Its alot stronger" and I removed the pcv and run a gas filter for vapor. I change the filter when dirty before there is any fallout in it. I have never even seen oil in the can at all, just vapor in the lines and filter. Before this it used oil if i hammered it hard alot, to the point where my intake was very oily, and i had to check my oil often. Im probably going to get a air/oil separator and splice that in too.
