Default PCV Question

I want to eliminate the oil in intake problem, and have very little faith in catch cans that connect to the intake. Can I run a hose from the valley cover outlet to a catch can with a with a breather/vent on top, to relieve to any pressure, and plug the inlet port behind the throttle body?

Yes. It's not EPA legal, so be prepared to go back to the stock system for inspections.

Call Cartek and get their catch can. That's exactly what it does. One tube goes from valley to the can. One tube goes from the valve cover to the can. Both intake inlets get plugged. The top of the can has a filtered vent. Works great.
