To update, today I measured crankcase pressure on the dyno making 17.5 lbs of boost. Pressure was absolutely neutral. No increase at all.
Great job David. Those MM cans work, and so does your routing advice.

I wore my mighty mouse shirt to the gym Sunday and lifted more than I have in a long time, so that is a huge too. And my mighty mouse beer coozie kept my beer cooler longer than any other coozie I had in the house.

Downside was I wore it to work the other day and got asked at least 3 times if I was a modest mouse fan, or why I was wearing a modest mouse shirt. I had no idea who that even was. Some band. Since it wasn't hot girls asking, being bugged about it was a downside for sure.

50 caliber at about 30 yards.

Or a drill

Size of hole would depend on size of fitting. I used 1/2" barbs so used a 1/2 drill bit.

Or get a valve cover with an oil fill port and use his adaptor with a AN fitting

So from what I've read, the options are as follows for NA?

1. Dirty side (valley cover), clean side (intake manifold)
2. Dirty side (valve cover, plug valley cover, clean side (intake manifold)

If I'm NA now and intend to move to a boosted application, do I need to buy a new can when that times comes or can i just get the can i will ultimately need and cap something off for now on the can?

You can run it from the valley plug with no problem on N/A, with a high boosted motor the valley plug is a little small and was suggested to move to the valve cover port for extra flow to the can. I went from the valve cover because I like the look and wanted the extra flow with the 8AN (1/2" line) to the can on the dirty side.

So did you plug the valley cover?

I love mine, I'm running the pvc can but I'm going to get a draft can as well just because I like the way the double can setup looks. I'm also going to put one on the wife's fifth gen, beat performing can in my opinion....

8AN on the clean and dirty side, on the PCV side I use the clamp to keep it snug so it wouldn't slide off
