Default PCV open breather

Trying out the EPS Tuning Breather kit. Comes with two small filters, two hose clamps, two end caps, one screw in adapter passenger side.

I had a oil catch can back in the day on the passenger side pcv then connected to upper plenum & caught oil. Now trying something else out.

Instead of oil vapors going into my plenum & diluting fuel mixture i'm keeping my ports/valves clean by not having the PCV hooked up. Same thing is being done with a catch can also.

Ok that's what I thought. Just wanted to see if I was a dumb and missed the point of it or if it was mostly for oil in the plenum.

I have the same except that driver and passenger valve ports are directly connected to a breather catch can.

Keeps my mrev2 clean and throttle body.

What's worse, starting a new thread without searching or searching and resurrecting a dead thread?

Guys. I'm installing my catch can and would like some...opinions...my DE is NA.

Non-vented catch can -> have inlets for both valve cover sides and one outlet to the intake tube or plenum (holds the vacuum)

OR

Vented catch can -> inlets for both valve cover sides and vent to the ozone. (will too much crankcase pressure build with the long lines and lack of vacuum?
