I must say also, that I drilled the fuel filter inlets and outlets slightly bigger (approximate size of PCV valve inlet. Jet it is important to understand that these are in operation, when not boosting. The criteria was that the plastic was impervious to oil and fuel. The best solution would be the pipercross inline filter. But if it ain't broke don't fix it. And at $3 a piece you could change them every week if you wanted.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 13y 9m 8d Gender: Not Telling Posted 17/11/12 02:17 AM Share Posted 17/11/12 02:17 AM If you are venting catchcan you would run both PCV and rocker outlets to can (effectively two inlets, with vent filter as outlet). But you would have to remove the PCV valve, as the valve is inoperable without vacuum. You would also have to make sure to block inlet manifold vacuum line.This type of system would give you greatest benefits, but not legal. That said you may a potential problem with boost pressure possibly running back into the PCV, but I think doubtful, as I believe that the pressure would take the shortest route out (that is, through vent filter)Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 -10AN fittings on the can and 2 -10AN fittings on the new rocker cover which is being painted at the moment. PVC valve is still in its original place and plumbed into the bottom of the plenum. Will throw more picks up when the rocker cover arrives and I fit it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
