catch cans? question real easy ok im gonna try to catch can approch to oil consumption and see how it works out, now do i run 2 catch can one for the pcv valve line and 1 in the beather line that goes into the TB or just on the pcv line, i wasnt sure if the TB line sucked or pushed air from the TB oh and another thing do u guys keep the pcv valve in there when u use a catch can or take it out, is it really needed when u have the can

I only used 1 like most people. Mine is between the pvc valve and the intake. I used the cheapo approach using an air compressor filter and it works great, but needs to be emptied regularly.

Actually at the same time I installed it I switched to 5W40 and it's still empty. There is a teeny bit starting to creep into the line just passed the PCV tho. I think the function is all the same, it's just a matter of capacity. The AWM can ($160) has a chamber inside with some steel wool material to catch absolutely everything but hey...too much for a can.
