Default Mighty mouse catch can install- please check my work

Hi everyone! I just finished installing my mighty mouse catch can and would like another opinion(s) on how i set it up just to make sure I installed it correctly. I have an ECS centri and the online instructions only show install on an NA dry sump.

-The check valve port with the red cap, i ran it to the intake manifold port.

-the other side of the catch can install ran to the passenger side valve cover cap.

-the rear side of the dry sump canister i left alone

-the front end side of the dry sump canister i ran to a barb on the intake filter

Please let me know if this looks good or if i should change it. Thank you

Given you have a blower I presume you got the can with the flapper valve and that it blows open when the motor has a lot of crankcase pressure. With a blower you will develop more than an NA motor in that department. Not sure what you did in the valley tube area but that valley tube has a restrictor in it at .100 so a big hose is not needed but you are fine. The PCV at the end of the day is only suppose to flow like 2-3 cfm at high vacuum. About 90+% of the crankcase pressure will come out the breather areas (non PCV). I presume because of blower you plug the manifold tube that would normally be your PCV intake. The guy at MM is pretty responsive you can send him a photo for this thought. Here is a photo of restrictor in the tube.

I appreciate your response! I had emailed MM and asked which kit he recommend and he sent me a link to the wild kit. I did forget to mention I capped off the valley port as you mentioned. My reason for getting this kit was my engine would spit out oil after sustained WOT pulls well into 3rd or 4th gear. I just didn't want to blow out any seals or keep making an oil mess and potentially cause a fire
Good idea, ill email MM with a picture and see what he thinks.

Thanks again for your help!

I have a dry sump with the ECS 1500 kit and a Mighty Mouse catch can, and it's the same as how you have it.
