after catchcan runs like sh@$%
after catchcan runs like sh@$% do I need to do some tuning after converting to catchcan or do I need to change something I did ?? I used a T fitting to connect both valve cover breather lines and ran it to the catchcan with a filter breather on it, and simply capped off the Tbody and manifold. now it will not idle and runs crappy, and I am even getting backfire through the Tbody when I give it gas. could it simply be that I didnt have the MAF hooked up? or is it the tune or the way I set it up? I ordered a second catchcan to run one on each side so more volume can exit the crank easier but it hasnt got here yet. or should I be looking at something else? thanks for the help.

yea I am not running a pcv setup at all now. I was running a pcv switch valve setup on both lines from the valve covers, but now that I am running 10- 12 PSI that system was failing (I was getting a bunch of oil in the intake pipes, manifold etc.) so I switched to the catchcan setup. should I go back to PCV on the intake manifold line and only use the catchcan on the Tbody line? with 12PSI ? also I plan to turn it up to about 15PSI eventually. will a PCV valve hold up to that ?? or shoudl I just go with the dual catchcan setup I am planning on. it is MAF tuned which seems to be working fine for me at this point. the MAF ends are ported to the max possible port and I changed the MAF table now I am fine tunning from there. the only problem I was having was with oil in the intake which I am hoping this catchcan setup will fix. thanks again ~Guy

Verdad Gallardo can you route the lines from the valve covers to the catch can, then to the pvc intake port?
or before you do that, try uncapping the parts that you capped and see what happens.
