if you really need to ask this question then it seems you have no understanding of how a pcv system works, or how a catch can works. maybe if you went up to the search, and typed in "pcv" and read one or two threads you would find out the information?

I'm not one to say "search", but in this case, its kind of rediculous

Lol... I'm the "guy"

I ran my VC line into the opening of the soda can... and from my PCV valve... to the opening of the soda can... boom its a 'catch' can.

Ideally it has a vac source that pulls through it... this is for my beater so it at minimum keeps the gunk outta my intake manifold and turbo... and allows the motor to vent under pressure.

Seriously... its not a "real" catchcan setup... its a temp solution for a boosted car... Under boost the PCV shuts and crankcase can't vent.. this just lets it vent and the soda can catches the junk that dribbles out. Same thing for VC.

I just ran lines from both places and into the widemouth of a MD can .... and done

i think coca cola bottles would make vastly better catch cans though.

your probably losing at least 3 hp from using such an inferior product. and your lowering your sperm count.

Mine has no vac source... it is just a catch for when pressure vents into it. I prefer it over spraying my engine bay with engine jizz ;p
