HMT Catch Can
Some of you may know my last motor was destroyed by excess crankcase pressure and all the seals on my motor basically started to **** oil. To prevent this from happening on the new motor I have fabbed myself a custom catch can. Using an AC accumulator from a GM car designed to absorb moisture I rigged up my setup. One line goes to the breather box on the back of the block where the stock PCV line goes. The PCV is eliminated and that line goes to the inlet of the accumulator. Then the outlet goes to my turbo intake tube to pull a vacuum on the crankcase relieving all the excess pressure. Comments and criticism is welcome.

can you draw up a primitive diagram? wouldn't having the hose going into the charge piping/external side of your tb not pull enough vacuum? i have mine going directly into my intake manifold to draw vacuum. maybe i'm just stupid. :P
