That's the most important side to stop excess oil entering the intake. Expand All I had before was a crankcase breather filter that was spewing oil in my engine bay so thought I'd have to sort that out. However the PCV I noticed is plugged into the intake manifold, is that what you mean? Also I've heard you need a separate catch can for both the pcv and crankcase?

The one you have installed is great for reducing the oil that coats the internals of the intercooler and piping. Its ideal to run 2. Dont forget to install a one way valve in the line so you dont pressurise the catch can. I use this oil/air seperator. You can join them up but its not really legal. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OIL-CATCH-CAN-SUIT-HOLDEN-COMMODORE-LS1-LS2-LS3-VT-VX-VY-VZ-VE-VE-V6-MOOILSB/400944452409?hash=item5d5a26d339:g:nhoAAOSwPcVVi3Wl Breather can is adjacent to booster. PVC can near inlet manifold.

It's primary purpose is not to catch oil that may piss out of the rocker cover although it may be needed to do that in some cases. Some info is in the link arronm posted. In short you want to filter out the oil from the blow-by as the oil entering the intake makes the engine more prone to detonation. There are several different styles available. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93557-before-and-afters/page/3/#findComment-1651312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read the crankcase breather is to allow gases to escape, catching oil, and grabbing fresh air from the air intake therefore why would I need a one way valve for my catch can if I have a breather filter eliminating pressurisation?? @arronm Cheers for the info guys!

Expand Yep. On 24/01/2018 at 1:49 PM, TheChad90 said: From what I read the crankcase breather is to allow gases to escape, catching oil, and grabbing fresh air from the air intake Expand That sounds backwards. The intake is pulling cleaner air from the catch can to remain legal. You can't have the crankcase, rocker cover or catch can venting to atmosphere.

Expand You only need it when the rocker cover is connected to the manifold. When it is connected to a catch can there is no boost pressure there, only crankcase pressure. Look at the stock setup, the hoses both go to the rocker cover but they go to different locations from there. In a street car with stock ring gaps a catch can is just there to filter what little blow-by there is while still running the system through the intake for legality. Ideally you wouldn't connect it to the intake and just have a filter on top of it so it doesn't pressurise from crankcase gas. When I say intake I mean pre turbo. Edit: I just noticed you said the breather filter eliminates pressurisation. It doesn't do that, it just condenses the oil out of the air coming into the catch can.
