Default PCV Problem with Pic's HELP!

Hey guys,

My car threw the P0172 and P0175 codes last week (Fuel Trim System Rich Codes banks 1 & 2)

While trying to trouble shoot today I ran across this in my catch can



So I don't have any fluids in the oil pan other then oil, no coolant, or fuel. My car dosn't over heat or burn coolant, so I don't think it's a head gasket. It also does not constantly smoke, or burn alot of oil, the only thing it does is eat a ton of fuel.

The car is adding 20% fuel on top of the base tune to fix something but me and my tuner are at a loss as to what it might be.

I relocated my EE catch can up under the front of the nose of the car when I did my supercharger install and was wondering if this might just be messing up the flow of the PCV system. I put the PCV system back to stock today, and put a new PCV valve in just to be safe.

We also thought that it might be the EVAP system that might be causing problems with my car, so I replaced the evap solenoid today to be safe as well.

Anybody got any ideas?????????????
