That setup is not the proper one...The catch can should be btw the PCV and it's vac source.

What's with the rudeness? Have I ever been an ass to you edwin? I've been nothing but respectful towards you and other members here. I guess you are having a rough day or something.

You need to adjust your attitude.

Hate to bump this but what kind of lines is everyone using for their catch cans? I used the clear plastic stuff that came with the can but with the heat in the engine bay and the vacuum the lines get sucked shut. I'm just wondering if there is a better type of line to use or if this isn't really going to be a problem.

I use stainless braided hoses, but I also have mine hooked up between the PCV and the intake mani. I need to get proper hose seperators instead of the zip ties but they're $30 each. I'll look for cheaper ones.

While this isn't the "prime" way to do it, it ensures that my engine doesn't even burn any blowby even under vacuum. Read up on how the PCV system works in the other thread, buth here's a pic of mine.

Yeah, that is exactly how mine is set up. I wasn't asking how it should be set up, I was just wondering what kind of lines everyone was using. The lines I currently have get sucked closed after they heat up under vacuum. I'm just trying to find a line that won't get sucked closed under heat and vacuum (I'd imagine under boost they're fine). Not sure if I want to go stainless braided though...

Why not go to braided? $4.50 per foot...
