If I were you Id be all over a kracka's vent setup with some catch cans..

That's what I have now, just not Kracka brand.

I still have the PCV on the main can so not sure if having a check valve before and after the can is hurting anything or not--it certainly fills up fast enough. As you know, the PCV on the X is the hose fitting on the valve cover. I've thought about removing that and finding a straight-thru fitting for it.

Mike,

I did realize that is what you had already, it is not uncommon to have mutiple vents on the valve cover, maybe just adding a second port would be work? Just trying to help, id just hate to see you spend money on something that may or may not work well.

Yeah, Ron mentioned that as a possibility. I am just not so crazy about testing theories that involve drills. That also wouldn't be inexpensive for me since I wouldn't be comfortable doing it myself.

99.9% sure this isnt a theory, it does work and I can help you with this. :) Not a problem!

Alrighty. I know it is commonly done on the 4G's so I'll have to look for some write-ups on what they've done. I assume I'd need a different type of catch can and some fittings.

Sirius finally disabled the free subscription that came with the car. I got 14 months, not sure how long it was supposed to be. heh.

Lucky! They cut mine off shortly past the 3 month mark. Seems like I get a letter from them daily though asking me to subscribe. So far they're offering 6 months free if i sign up for a year.

Yeah, I called them up and got another 6 months for free. lol. It must have been activated under the dealership's account for the last 14 months.

At least that Milwaukee dealer's incompetence isn't limited in scope.

Damn you! I thought I'd have mine for a while but it got killed a month or so after I bought the car.

Pulled the NAV and I don't see anything wrong, wiring-wise. I guess that'll be my car's first visit to a dealer. I've never heard of Mitsu voiding the electrical system warranty but my car is a bit extreme. haha.

Anyone familiar with the dealer in WBL? I guess I'll give `em a call and see what's up.
