I really don't know that much about the actual specifics of the Mag setup, but I can tell you that you won't regret the purchase. A blower is so much fun it shouldn't be legal... :cheers: :hurray: :hurray:

Re: pcv with blower (SleepieAce)
I have always wanted a car/truck with a blower,, I feel the c5 is the best choice,, why not have a good ride with all the bells and whistles I like with power to boot, I could do a blower on my street rod for way less, but , the rod is way less comfortable and more of a in yer face kinda deal,, the vette is sleek ,, smooth and just beggin for more,,,I have the bucks to do the blower and I feel (even thought I am a good mechanic) that I shold let phil at dynotech do the compete instal, , ths way I know its correct from the get go and I should be able to turn key and enjoy instead of wonderin what I need to address as far as tune and boost a pump..with the cost of a motor rebuild,,,better safe than sorry,,, I dont want hight boost, just a reliable blown c5...whee,,,,,All the guys / gals on the forum are great,,,fast advice and mostly not snooty....I can say they have cost me a lot of money due to the fact of everyone rootin for everyone to get power mods,,gotta loove it,,,

With the non intercooled Mag you won't need the boost-a-pump but from what I understand the intercooled Mag includes this pump, I guess because of the added boost.
I drove mine for over a year with the stock LS-1 PCV setup and didn't have any problems, now that I changed the heads out I also went to an LS6 style PCV system where the breather is in the valley cover instead of taking it from the rocker cover. I noticed I had quite a bit of oil inside the supercharger once I had it off but the car ran fine. :cheers:
