Default yes... another catchcan thread

in some of your guys pics from the best catch can thread it doenst look like your routed back into the turbo intake but just from
pcv>can<valvecover i thought you were supposed to route back to pre-turbo for vac purposes. can you just run a breather on the can and this setup will be ok?
i just sifted through 3 pages of search and thats what ive been reading ...sorry guys i know you have to love these threads

Do that and youll be fine for boosted app. Venting the positive pressure from your crankcase will be done in both vaccum and boost with this setup using two pcv valves.

could you go from PCV>vented-can<valvecover on a b series and it would work?

Only if its a naturally aspirated engine because if you use that setup on a boosted engine then the positive pressure from the crankcase has nowhere to go. If its boosted run it with that example with pcv valves

i was saying vented can like with a breather on the can top. wouldnt that allow the crankcase pressure to vent to the atmosphere? i know the other way is superior but it just seems like it would be a cleaner install and less hassle and cash to do it that way. thank you grasshopa

Well yeah kinda, I see alot of people just run a catch can from the valve cover to the atmosphere (venting to the ground)
