the whole reason of the PCV is to vent the crankcase and DECREASE the pressure inside, high pressure could casue fucked up ring, blown oil seal blah blah..


you should plug the one on the charge pipe and vent the crankcase like the dirgram up there.

Well I did read the diagram but Im not a big fan of recirculating that air back into my engine. would it vent the pressure if you just left the catch can without a vac source and vent it to the atmosphere?

Let me understand this cause I had it hooked up like this I think but i removed it. You can have a line coming from the PCV port and into a catch can? and thats it?

Also what are people using in there PCV ports to conect a vac hose?

if it is venting from just the atmosphere then you wouldnt really need a catchcan would you? i thought its purpose was to prevent oil from circulating into the intake? theres a good chance im wrong but this was my understanding.
