pcv/catch can setup for new turbo system

[2010SUMMITSS]

i have a agp kit and also running a mm catch can definitely the best out of all of them.

Which catch can are you mm running with the agp?

Any of them will work, just depends on what you want.

Call or email Steve from Elite Engineering and he can instruct you on the proper way to address this issue. You won't regret it. Also, Elite is a supporting vendor on this site, MM just coasts off all those that plug him for free (as the moderators allow this so what reason should any pay each month when others are allowed to advertise free?). Support those that support the site IMHO.

What?

I just recently switched over to the MM pcv can. So far so good, I like the way it works a lot better than the rx system I was running. That was just never right, and when I pushed my car hard at the track the rx can would freak out and make hissing noises for a while until I let the car cool down. I always felt that it had internal vacuum leaks somehow. MM can looks bada$$ too. They always answered my questions too and I had a lot of them. I'll give them a plug...

AGP kits come with a catchcan so no need to get one. The one they provide is very nice too.

Anyways, I've used the others, MM is the best. He gets plugged because the quality and performance of his product is top notch.

The picture above shows a breather on the can that vents PCV vapors to the atmosphere....can you tell me which State allows this?

Also, has ANYONE seen a cut away of this? And on being a supporting vendor, what is wrong with him becoming one if so popular?

And, please enlighten me on how this system provides for constant vacuum/suction pulled evacuation. I only see one suction side connection so how does this evacuate when in boost and the intake manifold is under pressure? Educate me here as I can't see where any statement I made was incorrect, but am all ears, and I firmly believe if your going to sell products on this site you should pay just like the other vendors do, how can the site stay open w/out paying supporting vendors?

Can you explain in detail how this set-up properly evacuates a boosted engine? And if you had a can that hissed after shut-down, something was not routed correctly. You should always be pulling vacuum on the crankcase with filtered fresh air entering the opposite bank as the foul vapors that are being evacuated. Someone explain all of this, and show me a MM can cut open and I have no problem endorsing it as well if he becomes a paying vendor.

I live my agp kit but oil is constantly oozing out of the filter on the catch can and When I go to empty it not a drop comes out so I'm gonna try something else and see if it helps

Hoses hooked up backwards? If they were hooked up backwards then that would happen.

Nope every things hooked up right. Confirmed with Kevin. Even did a compression and leak down to test to make sure i didn't blow a ring or something

that's exactly why i switched mine to mm and it fixed that same problem you were having

The can pulls vacuum on the crankcase from the rear of the passenger side valve cover, fresh air comes from the front of the driver's side valve cover(coming from the air filter on one of my turbos). When I go into boost the pcv valve on the can closes and crankcase pressure is relieved through the one way breather on the can and back through the fresh air line to the turbo. I get a little oil on the filter not much.

The rx can was hooked up the way they recommend, never really liked the setup. It was my second one though. I had a single valve rx can on my car for 30,000 miles before I boosted it, and it worked ok. I do have some pretty dirty valves though, but maybe they would be 10 times worse without the can.

I wouldn't mind seeing a cutaway myself, but I cant afford to buy a can to cut apart lol so can't help you there. If you want more detail just contact MM. He's a nice guy and has no problems answering questions.
