catch can for my lt1
So im installing a catch can on my new turbo build and have a question. Should I install the catch can on the passanger side inbetween the valve cover and throttle body? And im running stock valve covers and im worried the plastic elbow is going to blow out of the valve cover. Can I mount the can on the driverside and run hidden lines up the back of the. Motor? I was thinking of hiding it to keep the turbo as hidden as possible. Will this still be effective with that much line or should I keep it short and simple?

Cap the throttle body fresh air supply port. Run a catch can with breather to one (or both) valve covers. Put a 1/4" NPT brass check valve inline in the vacuum port on the front of the manifold under the throttle body because the PCV valve won't seal to hold back boost.

Mike do you have this set up? Can I see pictures that sounds great. I have the can just want to do it once not twice. Seems like you have done this and have experiance with issues that may show up

I run a catchcan mounted in the front bumper area passenger side. I had tried a GZMS can, but, it did not work well with re-circ of oil to the vac pump. I had to invent my own (centrifugal type). Works great and is located where exhausting oil from the breather does not soil stuff under hood. Fabbed from spare exhaust pipe and other assorted tube.
