So added these items today. Hooked up the oil catch can to the breather side cause those who hook it up to the pcv side don't know what they're talking about ?

Elaborate.Hooked up the oil catch can to the breather side cause those who hook it up to the pcv side don't know what they're talking about ?
He posted this same thing in one of the FB groups and never came back to elaborate.Elaborate.
the reason why is its not worth the argument. Basically unlike other vehicles our pcv recirculates back into the lower crankcase and its not a problem. only the breather side goes back into the top intake manifold. But it will be an endless argument if I bring it up in the group- as I'm sure it will here now as well.He posted this same thing in one of the FB groups and never came back to elaborate.
Breather goes from the valve cover to the intake tube, no?the reason why is its not worth the argument.

honestly at the end of the day I'm not versed enough to explain exactly how the technician explained it in person. Made sense but I'm not going to try explaining and possibly mess wording up and it be inaccurate if ya feel me. I'll write down what he told me word for word next time I see him. When I heard it in person it made total sense but I'm still new to turbos/pcv/ catch cans etc.Breather goes from the valve cover to the intake tube, no?
PCV goes back into the intake manifold. At least as far as I have seen. I would love to be proven wrong. With photos of course.
I mean, sometimes it's nice to inform people and make a solid point than to continue to let everyone "not know what they are talking about".
Meh. It happens. You're certainly not the first person to receive what sounded like solid information only to find out that it wasn't. The important part is learning the truth, no matter how it happens. No harm, no foul.great- looks like I was wrong after all.
Good questions that I also have being in similar climate. I’m interested in adding some things to the car and a SRI was on the list, but am getting a bit more weary seeing rec’s to add OCCs. Trying to add a little power but be able to still easily swap out if headed to dship.Please help clarify...
If an Oil Catch Can 'breaks' (hose flies off or can breaks in half, not likely to happen if installed and maintained correctly) what is the risk to your engine?
If an OCC freezes up (they fill mostly with water in humid climates as shown in Tork's video, again not likely to happen if installed and maintained correctly) then it could get blocked and pressure could blow out some seals?
Conditions that contribute to lots of water in oil catch can.
1) high humidity
2) lots of short runs
3) warm air hitting cold OCC
All you desert folks are pretty much free and clear. My local climate is very high humidity in the summer and extreme cold in the winter.
Bump.Please help clarify...

Yes.Are these two descriptions of the systems correct?
1) PVC to intake manifold
2) valve cover to air intake
Zero effect on the valve cover to intake tube side.The two failure modes I can think of, for either system, are A) 100% hose blockage and B) 100% hose breakage.
What are the effects of these two failures for these two systems?
1)A) The effect is ????
1)B) The effect is ????
2)A) The effect is ????
2)B) The effect is ????
Nice! I’m running with the larger Mishimoto OCC’s which I included a preview of my setup in the link below with a picture.I hooked up a mishimoto compact occ to the breather side and in the first month of driving a stock car picked up a little over a teaspoon of oil. I don't have an occ on the pcv side, yet.

At the time, I wish I didn’t share the picture since the setup wasn’t yet complete. You know the cans are doing their job...you can smell the blow by collected in the cans; at least I can when I’m parked in the garage.
I know at the point of sale the dealership filled it up with whatever was cheapest, and ever since that fill up, I’ve been using premium octane.
Sweet! That must be one real PITA to empty your breather side can...unless you attached a flick drain line. I would worry your line with the foam sleeve might start to melt. I tapped into the PCV side the exact same way using the factory line into the custom line.Here are the pics of mine.
