PCV system with supercharger
I am almost done with my ATI install. According to their directions, you use a "T" and hook the PCV tube to a hose on the inlet on the other valve cover and then the third port of the "T" gets routed out by the fender. This seems like a bad way to do this. Would it be okay to put a breather filter (something like a small K&N) on each of these? Should I leave the PCV valve there or just use a breather? What would happen if I put a PCV on each side....I am guessing pressure would build and ruin some gaskets? Every supercharger causes some blowby, how have you guys gotten around this?
Thanks

I built a dynamic vacuum using a venturi in my turbo inlet. It uses a pcv like any other most of the time, under boost it switches via 3 way solenoid/hobbs switch. The down side is that it worked so well i got oil all thru my intercooler/turbo/manifold. Need an oil seperator.

Just put a filter in each valve cover hole........I use the type that you can attach a hose to and vent the fumes out the bottom of the engine bay. other wise the filters drip oil on the valve covers.........if you have emission testing you'll have to do it as the instrutions state

i am the same way filter where my oil cap was and another where my my stock pcv was and then one on the other side
i have a moroso pcv evac system but i have not had time to install it yet..i heard it works well for small systems but for race you would want a vaccuum pump with oil seperator.

If you go to the Vortech site ( realizing you have an ATI). You can download the installation manual. I have my PCV valve as stock and then route the vent hose ( on the passenger side) down to right behind the air filter (behind the MAF if you have one) it works fine for me. So when you are under WOT or boost you still have vacuum at the crankcase. Before I did this I did have problems with oil pushing through the gaskets from the internal crankcase pressure.
