Pcv system under boost - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So directions on the ESS syste calls for the driver side valve cover hose to go to the intake just under the throttle body and the pass side valve cover to go to the intake side of thr blower. I also have a metco breather on the oil fill with a check valve. Is this the proper way to vent under boost? Current boost level will be roughly 10 psi

No, not the proper way, only because, LEGALLY, you're not allowed to vent to
atmosphere. I have an Elite catch-breather on my oil fill with a vent filter, and
I am not boosted, and it has reduced the oil in the catch by almost 50%.

However, the way you have it hooked up will work...

Yes as long as there is a pcv valve at the connection at the intake. I dont have a stock intake so im not sure about the connection there. I would really consider a catch can at some point.

I have a jlt catch can but wasnt sure if i could use it now. Would it just go on the line that is going from my pass side valve cover over to the inlet side of the blower?

Ideally in my mind you would want a 3 port catch can with one port going to inlet of super charger, one port to intake pcv, and the other going to a tee with a line running to each valve cover.

So this is how I'm going to plum this. I got this info from the extremely helpful gents at Jannetty. The port on the driver side valve cover will get blocked off. The port on the pass side valve cover will go to the suction side of the supercharger. The valley cover port will go to one side of my existing catch can. The other side of the catch can will go to the port on the front of the intake, this one will also have a one way check valve. Seem right?
