I thought I had a good pcv setup but appearently not. Ive got about 5000 mi. on my new motor and I decided to take a look inside my intake and ive got oil alll over the damn place. Im running rubber hoses from both valve covers then they tee together into my catch can from there the outlet of the catch can goes into a one way check valve and then into the side of the intake. im not using the line on the blower hat at all, and Ive got a breather on the pass. valve cover witch is misting a little oil under boost. my can is a mike norris motorsports catch can. I know this issue has been beat to death and i have read hundreds of replys but I would really appreciate the help

is the catch can catching? have it installed backward perhaps?

it is catching oil just not all of it, it is installed correctly

Dump the PCV line going to the intake and put a breather on the catch can. Then oil can't make it into the intake through the PCV

replace the driver rear fitting in the vc with a pcv valve, can't do anything with the pass. side vc unless you wanted to add a vertical valve somehow right off the vc

what is the oil catching medium? maybe it is not agressive enough?

i believe its wire mesh inside, what do you think about what slowhawk said about eliminating the line going to the intake and putting a breather on it?

Best way with the power your at, there is a thread on it currently that explains why and how.

i think i used to have it that way, but didnt like the oil vapor smell following me around everywhere i drove. i also like the idea of drawing off some of the airborn contaminants with the system... additionally my system helps pull oil out of my low mounted turbo.

if you're going to run a breather there is no need for a catch can at all.. just cap off all exits and stick a breather on the oil fill.
