Victor Jr. and PCV I just received my victor jr intake, and will have to do some modification to the PCV system. I think they way I'm planning to do it should work, and seems fairly simple. I'm planning to run the passenger and drivers side valve cover hoses to a Y-block, from there run a single line to an oil catch can, then from the catch can run a line to the inlet side of my vortech.
Would this work effeciently, or would there be too much vacuum in the crank case? Suggestions?

I really don't think that would be an issue, they sell crankcase evac pumps that are a lot stronger I would assume. They claim better ring seal and hp as they turn up the vacuum. Consider guys that have their dipsticks pop out without some sort of catch can setup or breather. That's a lot of pressure to relieve. And it will only increase as you loose compression over time.

Cool, I'll give it a shot.. thanks.
I would really like to see how you are going to make a vortech kit work with a Vic jr. Unless your not aftercooled or you swapped to a FMIC? I did the same thing and you could hear the engine sucking when I shut it off. So I bought a metco breather to fix that

would I have to use some sort of fresh air source while running both valve cover lines to the inlet of the supercharger?
Reason I'm asking is because if both lines are "Y"ed, they would be sharing a single line into the inlet of the supercharger. And I'm under the impresssion that the passenger side needs to draw in fresh air, while the drivers side needs to be vaccumed. So what if both are under a vaccum?

Verdad Gallardo Isnt using the SC to draw vacumm from the crankcase going to draw oil into the SC and then back into the motor defeating the other goal of a breather/catchcan setup???? Or u usinga catchcan Junior???

This is what I am wondering about.
The air coming in is from what the blower pressure blows past the rings into the crankcase. You don't want a fresh air source, you want a sealed environment. I have mine done the same way from the crankcase to the catch can, drawing from the inlet of the blower, and I have zero oil in my intake or blower after tens of thousands of miles. I also run a air oil separator but just recently installed it.

Thats what I was about to say.
