Default School me on catch cans

I am contemplating putting in a catch can in my blown GS. Looking into the Mighty Mouse can. Is it beneficial? What version do I need? How do you recommend installing and mounting it? Pics would be great too. Thanks folks.

Contact David at Mighty Mouse and he will get you set up. Nobody better on that topic.

I have a Mighty Mouse can set up as a PCV can. It works very well. Send David an email and he will help you get the set up right for your car.

Installing my MM after I finally put on my new valve covers. I'd say as above, contact Dave as he has been very helpful with my setup and took time out of his schedule to help me with my ignorance of how the whole system works.

I ran an elite with 13lbs of boost and had no issues. Now with more boost I moved to MM cans which I feel is a far superior product.

Something like this is definitely beneficial especially with a boosted car.

Great thanks. I believe I'm going to do the MM PVC as well. Could anyone post pics of theirs installed?

If you are a dry sump get the bracket from MM and it's an easy install. If you are a wet sump you can do what I did and put it behind the battery

Ok I will add one little thing for you guys lol ! I would assume you guys realize what is located right where DJfury05 has his mounted. Yes that is the fresh air intake for the A/C or cabin air lol! So just think about another place to mount it if you don't want to smell the crankcase vapors in the cabin. I like putting them in the front passenger fender well behind the fog lights if so equipped. GL! Guys. Probably not bad on a stock motor or one with low miles etc... But the more blowby you get the worse it is, and yeah you can put in on recirculate lol.

I haven't noticed any smells from it yet mounted there. I could see it causing that though for some people.

The MM cans only vent through the filter when needed which from what I saw in the dyno was at pretty high boost. You won't get any smell in normal driving. Now mount other cans where the filter has no valve there and yes, it stinks.
One of the reasons to go with the MM.

My mechanic is recommending I do away with the factory pcv system altogether. He's not a fan of recirculating the oil. Not sure what to do now as I was set on the MM PCV can.

Vent both valve covers with -10 lines to a breather can and call it a day. Cap off all the vacuum ports and done...
