Just as stated here is how mine is. Gizmo5 has his the same way. If people want better picks pm me your number and I will text them.

Yup yup, here is mine. Both sides Tee'd off to the CC, then the CC too the intake tube to keep some decent suction going through the can. The nipple coming off the manifold behind the TB is capped off. I don't want the CC going there because I don't like letting opportunities for boost leaks in. My way is locked up and clean, and out of boost.

Either Wnt2fofst vented to atmosphere option or my way vented to intake tube are both fine, and the best ways to go. :thumb2:

I bought mine from AM with the forum discount.

^ getting anymore oil in your inlet of the blower?

Never got any oil in my blower, it did however try to drink some water on a rainy day. Fixed that little problem with some foam in a heat vent. :thumb2:

If you're saying the Moroso or venting to the atmosphere is better than my solution I'd like to hear why. My setup is straight off of the Boss 302R program. The premise of mine is to not separate oil like yours but to bypass the pcv system all together to ensure there is zero chance of vapor getting back into the system. Rehagen Racing sells my setup and Ford Racing recommends it over the oil separator solution. While they charge $425 for the setup I made the exact same setup for actual cost. I'm not knocking your setup as it's clean and will work just fine but it is in no way better than bypassing the pcv system all together. There's more than one way to skin a cat and the same can be said for preventing blow by.

Don, I know what you're up to with that new avatar...LOL!

That'll be high-larious!!!

Can you put a mustache on it too? :lol:

Your way seems same as mine. And I did mine for a hair less. I actually got my catch can for 135 then another 15 for extra hose, fitting. ;)

And so know I'm just giving you a hard time.

Thats how my setup is minus the can! I am using an allstar performance Baffled vented catch can.

What/how did you use to cap off the intake manifold?

Went to the local auto parts store and bought a pack of Dorman bypass caps. I added a zip tie to make sure they don't come off.

Here is the "How To" that I used when making mine...(Scroll to the bottom) http://bossmustangsonline.com/index.php?topic=880.100 There are a few differences in mine such as the fittings used and the Peterson catch can. My catch can has male threads as apposed to the female threads used in the how to. So I needed to use different fittings. I also just popped out the pcv from the blue passenger side fitting instead of buying another drivers side one. The pcv parts can be put back in just in case I ever need it.

One question, is that can vented? I mean it would have to be right? Otherwise pressure would just build and eventually go back to the engine or blow the weakest seal point.

You can drill a hole and add a breather but the cap is not sealed and will let the pressure escape if there is any after deleting the pcv valve and plugging the vacuum ports.

I'm going with the catch can install "blown mustang" that was on HP TV which is the Paxton install per the instructions plus a can on both sides. I'm not convinced removing the PCV and capping off the intake manifold and SC inlet is a good thing in the long run and in a few years I'll have to go for an E test. Can't believe how much research and reading I've done on catch cans.

So, who's running the most boost out of their 2200? Anyone up in the 14-16 range?

What pulley size as well, I'm on a 3.6 right now

How is this? Can u explain? Why wouldn't it be good in the long run?
