Why not have both the VC outlets go into the intake pipe?
There is more vacuum from the intake manifold during idle/cruise than the intake pipe ever sees so its beneficial during off-boost conditions. The intake pipe is only under vacuum if the filter is unable to flow as much air as the turbo is trying to draw in which won't happen while idling or cruising.

Oh man, I just thought of a crazy setup that lets it go to wherever has the most vacuum, either intake pipe or manifold. It's complicated, maybe I'll draw it in MS Paint tonight. Also probably not worth all the hose it would take.

Thats the point of a catch can dude, to catch the shit and suck out vapors. It's a better way of doing the same thing the factory did in my opinion.

This. Just run both VC vents into a single catch can and then to the intake pipe.


I think there was a misunderstanding there. Asshanson, I thought you were saying to put both the breather and the PCV to the intake pipe with no catch can in between. lol
