right now i have my BOV t-d into my PCV and its not blowing off so im thinking it should have its own source. So instead of buying a catch can, is there any other vacuum source i can T my PCV to? FPR,Boost gauge,wastegate on a different location on my Skunk2 IM?

 

the hose that goes into the intake manifold from the pvc = loose it, take it out of the pvc

you can use that spot on your intake manifold for your bov. eventually you need a catch can set up.

 

isnt it bad to not have the PCV hooked up? would it damage my motor at all to run without it hooked up until i get a catch can?

 

it's just for crank case ventilation. if you leave it hooked up to the intake manifold boost will push through and out the pvc.

 

o ok so if i unhook it it will be ok? what if i dont get a catch can for 2 weeks or more will it still be fine without it plugged in? sorry for the questions just want to make sure.

 

don't plug it up. it still needs to vent

 

no i didnt mean plug it. i meant unplugged as in the hose still coming out from the bottom just not plugged into my intake manifold. just let the hose hang out. is that ok to do?

 

just take it off, there should be a clamp you'll need pliers for.

 

just vent it into the atmosphere.. It would be better so you won't have blow by oil back into your manifold...

 

ok so just leave everything hooked up on the black box under the manifold and just unplug the hose at my intake manifold and let it hang? i should be getting a catch can with in the next couple days but for now i should be fine doing it this way?

 

^^^ Is this posible to do anyone without hurting my engine?

 

if your too worried about it, just wait untill you get your catchcan set-up. Id always rather be safe than sorry

but to answer your question, no,it wont hurt your engine

 

yeah thats true also... but right now since i dont have an extra vacuum source for my BOV it is t-d into my pcv going to my intake manifold and its not blowing off. I think it needs its own vacuum cause im getting compressor surge. but for now if it wont do any damage ill unhook it and let it hang and plug in my BOV.

 

I have a new question. What would be the difference between leaving the pcv hose plugged into my intake manifold for a vacuum source and plugging it into my intake pipe coming off my turbo? I have a nipple on my intake pipe i could use for a vacuum source wouldnt that be the same thing? if so it would free up a nipple on my intake manifold for my BOV.

 

no not use the pcv altogether

there is a offical catch can thread

you can read thru that

 

thanks... i just unplugged the PCV hose from the intake manifold and put my BOV in its place and now my BOV works and no more compressor surge. I am getting a cusco catch can today from a guy and will install it this evening.thanks everyone.

 

make sure the catch can vents to the athmosphere

 

i ran it like this (go to teh part that says PCV, and i did the second option) http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html So its not venting to the atmosphere. It goes from my intake coming off my turbo to the catch can, then from the catch can to the pcv black box. Is this correct?
