EE catch can question
Just installed a elite engineering catch on my z last week. I have ran this same catch can on other vehicles I have owned. Are you c5 z guys use the stock check valve with the new lines? Reason is I have never seen this much oil in a catch cam so quickly. I literally had the can a quarter of the way full after one might of spirited driving. Kinds worried me. I have it hooked right with the valley cover port going to the top of catch can and the bottom of the catch can going to the manifold. My idle is also acting up little like a vacuum leak. Any help is greatly appreciated

If you are using boost and not using the check valve, then if the crankcase sees any pressure build-up from ring blow-by then there will a lot more crankcase flow and oil in the catch-can.
