PVC requirements

What is the "popular" way to run the PVC system on a blown system? I was planning on running a hose form the passenger side valve cover to my breather (Andy's filter). Is there any need to put a breather where the filler cap is (like some do) or run a line to the filler cap (to somewhere) like some do.

I removed mine all together, vented it all to atmosphere. I have been running 2 years with no issues due to PCV.

Most of the info I have was form photos I had seen of the way guys are running it. The procharger manual says to run it to the air filter, but doesn't really give any photos.

The most important thing is that the crank case dont ger pressurized.

Here are Andy instructions (p17), it shows how he does it which seems to work pretty well...

By "venting to the atmosphere" do you mean with the breather mounted on the fill cap?

Don't forget to get a check valve as well.

I actually have a hose on the passenger side and a hose from the valley going into a vented catchcan. Then on the passenger side valvecover I put a simple little autozone bought filter on the front nipple. Then just block the rest and GO!
