I want to run one in between the PCV valve and the Intake manifold. Is this ok to do? I havent seen anyone else do it, i have only seen it done on the ventilation side.



Id imagine if the Catch can was air tight there would be no problem? As long as it held vacuum right?

I think there is a reason why they are installed on the ventalation side. Seeing that thats where the oil would come out of the valve cover under higher boost. Why try to reinvent the wheel, install as instructed.

PCV is closed when in boost. You don't need one particularly on a stock SR setup. But yes you can certainly run one if you like.

Look at my build thread for a baffled catch can setup. It's the best one you can get....
