I thought electric pumps (blowers, etc. ) were a joke and not capable of producing enough boost.

Though I know you are talking about an electric vac pu,p which has a difft purpose than a blower.

 

Electric pumps create vacuum better than electric fans compress air.

 

On a dual can setup, where would a vacuum pump be connected? I'm guessing I would want it in the dirty side in the following order:

PCV ---- catch can----vacuum pump----front of intake manifold

Is that right? Trying to understand all of this.... Thanks for the help guys!

 

With a pump you should be able to eliminate the PCV valve all together and just use a single catch can. You also don't need to route the line back to the intake unless you need a closed system.

 

I'm not entirely sure that the fist statement is true. I think it is dependant on the size of the air filter on the turbo and compressor size (ultimately the volume of air that's able to be moved through the filter). If the air filter has too much surface area I do not believe it will start pulling a vacuum until the turbo is at or close to peak rpm's, if at all.
I tested this on my car, it has a rear mount tc-76. I have a 3/8 i.d. hose hooked up to the intake side of the turbo and I put a vacuum gauge on the end of the line and it sees no vacuum until very high rpm's and even then its so minuscule there's no way that it will evacuate any pressure from the crankcase.
