I don't really understand why mighty mouse would want you to run it that way in the documentation that you found. I just don't think that they intended it that way for a centrical supercharger. I'm pretty sure what you should do is take that port from the driver's side valve cover and route that to the in of the catch can and route the out to the intake manifold. Then buy a breather that goes into the oil fill cap and then you will be done.

For the time being is it a better idea to run the factory line from intake to valley cover and put the stock oil cap back on with both valve covers capped?

Do I still need a vented catch can? I feel like I bought entirely the wrong setup now.

So I need to:
1. Vent the pass side valve cover with a breather.
2. Driver side valve cover to the in of the catch can
3. Out of the catch can to the intake manifold port.

Yes you are correct on the 123. I don't believe that you got the wrong set up just have to route it a little differently then they have it routed. I would get a breather like this one with a baffled side to it so you don't get a lot of oil on the breather. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rdm-20-0588

This looks like an easier to read version of what you said Joe. This would essentially be a Tee from the blow off valve for the teal line labelled as turbo vacuum.

Yes that is a way to do it. Cause you see your supercharger will create pressure to the crank case when you go wot, so it just needs a way to escape. Because your manifold vacuum will be at 0 vacuum at wot and that's where the breather comes in. If you could put a line from the passenger side valve cover in between the the filter and the supercharger that would be ideal but if not the breather method will work too.

You do really nice work, very clean looking

Thank you. I try to really pride myself on the work that is done to this car.

that being said, I will be removing the Mighty Mouse catch can in favor of a custom setup from Elite Engineering. After speaking to their team I feel very confident in the design of their system. It will be alot more lines running through the engine bay, but as long as the system is working, I am ok with it.

I will have the MM catch can up for sale soon, it has everything to be used on a roots blower system. Will have factory oil dipstick mount, and 8an fragola lines connector, which is supposedly good enough for 800hp.

It'll be posted up as soon as i can get my Elite engineering can installed. So far it looks like they haven't shipped my order out yet.

My favorite one by far was one that listed "Toyota Camry" as a car and I remember thinking, if you're gonna lie, at least have some ambition.

Did you ever get your new catch can installed?
