Default PVC Quick Question PIC Inside!

Hey guys I need help...I have been reading for hours...and I cant figure this CRAP out....I have a one way check valve..and this is what I have so far....The check valve is facing forward to the PVC....is this right?? Im not sure if it is...cause the car hesitates and has no throttle response...but I thought this is what I read somewhere....It was late so I didnt get to try it the other way....just need some info on how I have mine hooked up!!...Thanks guys!

PCV, pvc is home plumbing. just take the valve off and run some air through it to make sure youve got t right. although, there might be a little marking on it to tell u which way its supposed to go.

Unless I'm not reading this right, you need to have direct vacuum from the throttle body to the PCV with the check valve in between. You won't supply any vacuum to the PCV if you first go to the catch can, you'll only create a vacuum leak.

I would run a separate hose with a check valve in between to the PCV. Connect all other vent tubes to the catch can. The vent line from the can if connected between the air filter and throttle body will create vacuum for the catch can under high airflow conditions.

Block off the TB port as it is designed to be the air intake for the PVC system, but you are doing that by moving it to the filter on the turbo. Run the port behind the TB just like you have it with a check valve. If you don't have a check valve on the TB you will be letting boost go right through but you don't need it at that point so just plug it.
