I noticed that the hose coming from the eforce to the can was sucked flat when the car is running is this supposed to happen? I have it hooked up correct wondering if the pcv valve is bad. Any help would be great. Thanks

Nope - you should check to see if the PCV check valve is working right. It should be one way. I have it hooked up to my Eforce and mine does not do that.

If the check valve is bad, good look getting ANY support from RX.

I'm not all that concerned, however I do not agree with people posting false statements, RX has gone above and beyond to help me. What has happened with them in the past must no longer be the case as they were more than happy to go out of their way to help with my situation.

So I am not 100 percent sure with the E Force but I b elieve with roots type blowers you dont need the check valve I broke mine so I was looking to get a new valve and called Ted Jannety and RX both and they said with my Maggie the check valve is not required so I just put a normal 90 fitting on there and thats it. (it has to do with the way the pressure works on roots blowers I believe there is some smart guys on here that could explain better and I would love for them to just to give me a good underdstanding

You can just run a 1/4" pipe thread fitting in place of the PCV/Check valve. It would just screw right in to the existing threads.
