Simple PCV question.
I saw this in other thread and wondered if it was best for my SC set up with 9 psi.
I know there is a lot of threads and I have searched but came across this below and thought it seemed pretty easy and effective?
Currently I may have this all wrong.....I have the stock PCV with check valve from valley cover into Manifold, The drivers side is capped off ( if it was from factory), The stock oil cap is in place, and I have a line running from the passenger side valve cover down to a filter underneath the car which ofcouse fills with oil after some hard pulls and just drips the oil out.
I was told I could have run this line into the blower filter but why would I want the blower to suck up this oil?
Not a huge deal untill it gets all over everything underneath after a few hard pulls with some GTR's....
I'm pretty embarassed but I need some simple advice. I know a Catch can is best just want some direction how to set this up.
PCV is not something I know a lot about.
EDIT: I am reading this now http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-f...ac-thread.html
Simple ideas are still welcome.
Thanks in advance.

It's been an issue since day 1 on these engines in '97. I've never really liked any of the solutions put out there. Once you boost these engines you really see the downsides of it.
I simply capped off all of the stock PCV ports, ran a breather on the valve cover, and ran 3/8" ID hose off the DS valve cover to a cheap catch can with a breather on top of it.
