You can always hook up 4 hoses to 1 catch can, thanks for that diagram, I might add a couple of extra hoses to get it from the driver's side also.

I had the Helix catch can mounted behind my SSV with the Vortech and in between the radiator and motor with the Greddy kit. Taking off that charge pipe with a Koyo radiator is even worse

what im saying about the 4 hoses is that it may effectively short circuit the motor out the flow path. Dont know the exact words to use, im not a ME or fluid dynamics person. Get the idea though?

The pcv may be allowed to suck air directly from the intake and no longer through the crankcase. Thats not how the original system worked.

under light throttle:
Air comes in the intake, travels through the hose that connects the intake to the lg valve cover. From the left hand valve cover it looks like it goes through the crank case to rh valve cover. It then exits the rh valve cover into the PCV which lets the air flow into the upper plenum. The valve covers are also connected by a hose as well.

under heavy throttle:
oil comes out the intake hose from the lh cover into the intake. Everything else is the same essentially.

that front charge pipe is already a PITA. Found out you have to shuffle it around to put an ac belt on............FTL!

dude im telling you i had the same problem and it blew my MAF and all take the filter off and see it theres oil there if there is send it back to vortech im serious becasue you can really **** yoru car up. And no you wouldn'tr be blowing smoke becaue its not enough into the intake manifold but im tellign you send the blower out

If you are seeing oil on the sway bar then it is likely coming from the blower shaft seal gone bad. I had this happen also..Need to get it to Vortech for seal replacement..

I honestly dont think its my seal. After 6k miles youd assume some blowby to happen. The amount of oil wasnt that much. once i get the catch tanks installed, if i see more oil ill contact vortech. Im not too worried....got 4yrs left on my warranty with them.

What were the symptons?

not to be a hater, but thats not properly installed in my opinion. What are you going to do when you accumulate oil into the catch can a take a hard left turn and all the oil sloshes back to the in and out lines?

also, it wont solve the blow by issue into your intake. See my pic and description above about what happens under boost.
