just one question, how the hell do you run the lines? does one line come from the breather to a nipple and the other from the pcv valve to the other nipple?

Re:oil catch can
I was talking with the ultimately knowledgable snap-on rep who supplies my friend with his goods, and he mentioned something that really caught me off guard.
keep in mind that this man built racecars for 18 years, and has owned (And still does own) many turbo'd dodges.
he told me that the pcv is really ineffective at anything beyond half throttle, and isn't even of concern when boosting. I questioned him about how not having the pcv venting would not blow the ring lands, and he said that it would find it's way through the crank seal before it broke ring lands.
I know that losing a crank seal is bad, and I can understand the reasoning behind wanting your pcv functioning, but why did he say that it is useless? does he really not know what he's talking about?

im not to sure. i think maybe its just because he is experienced with dodges and not hondas. because i know plenty of people whom have run without them and they ended up being sorry. but then again, there are people like beerbong who dont have one and run fine. i doubt its just luck, but who knows
