Crankcase vacuum pump..More efficient, or no?
I did a little searching here and didnt see much info on this. I was looking at adding a vacuum pump to my engine to help evacuate the crankcase under boost, Most setups I see are around $900 and are only listed for v8 engines. But I came across some people using a modified GM electric smog pump, Some companies even make a harness just for this mod using a hobbs switch. I know that some vacuum in the crankcase can help parasitic loss. Supposedly Ford used these pumps on the 96+ Mustang Cobra for this exact purpose. Just wondering if anyone here has tried these?
Here is a website that talks about the pump and mods.

I'm not opposed to running a quality catch can setup, I just figured vacuum would be more efficient than venting to atmosphere.
My plan was to run TheShodan's modified catch can setup.

Not sure how long this has been out but I caught the Instagram of the K series version and this is the B series version and this nifty little thing lets you run 2 lines with no welding!~

Im using the project import B series catch can it comes 100% complete and works fine for me cause I don't have much room in my bay and I don't want to re locate my battery.
