Default Mighty Mouse, turbo catch can Q




I'm sure I'm making this more complicated than it probably is. I'm putting a MM wild can on my twin turbo Hawk. I have the LS2 valley plate.
obviously the inlet goes to the oil fill adapter. In the pic, it looks like its teed into the valley cover, but it has a cap on it.

In the pic, it shows the clean air source going to the rear drivers valve cover, but it talks using a PCV. So do I cap the valley cover port? Run a PCV in the valve cover to fresh air, pre turbo in my case.

I would not use a valve for a catchcan. Only for an actual PCV setup, which is what you are trying to avoid. The catch can needs to have an open vent to atmosphere.

I believe what that inlet line is saying is you can use either/or. Ps front port pr valley port.

I literally have been emailing him the last week or so and just yesterday we confirmed my routing I need to take just a few days ago. I have his gen 5+ can, now albeit I am n/a here is the routing he confirmed with me would work on my setup. Valley port to inlet of can. Outlet of can to manifold port. I then have the throttle body port going to the front ps valve cover port. I will block off the rear ds port.

I would email him directly if you have any hesitation about it. He has given me great service thru the whole buying process, which was months ago, to now this past week once I’m finally getting around to install. Very pleased with everything.

I appreciate the replies. I emailed him this morning and even though it was a holiday he replied back with in 10 minutes.

He said what both of you guys said. I didn't look at what I thought was a PCV valve closely. It has an orfice only and is supposed to go where the LS1 valve goes. That goes to fresh air pre turbo.

the line that goes to the intake, that one has a check valve in the catch can for boost. The valley cover gets capped off.

thanks again for the replies.
