Default what is the real way to hook a catch can?

i know it doesnt go to the breather..does it come out of the block directly and to the can? does it still use the stock can in the back of the block? thanks

can't you just run it from the pcv to the can and plug up the manifold? Same with the crankcase too right?

I did have that piping leading from the valve cover to my turbo intake piping.. problem was that with all the high boost, it would end up sucking all the engine oil out from my engine and put it through the turbo - lots of white smoke... i simply removed that piping from the intake piping and let it hang underneath the engine. wondering if there's any harm in doing something like that..

You can do that (plug up the intake) with an open setup but the diagram shows a closed setup and still uses the PCV which requires vacuum from the intake to open the valve. I am going to try removing the PCV and putting a barbed fitting in the oil seperator and running it and a hose from the breather toa vented catch can like the Jazz. This way the engine can breathe all it wants.

Hey bud, I believe you are talking about the charcoal canister. The black tank behind the motor...that is not a catch can

I have the greddy unit as well and it's not baffled which sucks cause it's the baffling which catches the backstreaming oil vapors. I considering fabricating my own baffling or just stuffing it with some meshed copper, however as an unbaffled unit, don't expect much in the way as a oil trap.

HTH
