I decided to check the CC after 7k miles this time. Overall the kit is doing it's job.

Thats pretty amazing that you got this much blow-by from the just "PCV dirty side". This is interesting because on the Mishimoto dev blog for the jeep catch can with the same-ish engine, they the claim that they got nothing from their dirty side can but a lot of oil from their clean side can.

I'm thinking of doing something similar but trying to determine the best configuration. This thread has been exceedingly informative.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on with the setup that Callisto posted above ? I'm very curious about this and he seems very knowledgable but I have some trouble following his descriptions (Unfortunately he is also banned ). The last picture he posted doesn't look like anything I have seen before. Neither does it look like the schematic he posted in the beginning.

Based on what I can parse from this,
  • The red hose connects the PCV (dirty) side to catch can on top. But, there's also a connection from it going to the right. Where does that end up? does it snake around the bottom around to the intake manifold? (if so, doesn't this just bypass the can?)
  • The blue hose is where the clean side CCV is. but it doesn't route this to the catch, its a direct connection to the post-airfilter. Doesn't this bypass the can during boost? since the dirty air can travel directly along the path of the blue tube into the airstream (top to bottom in his picture).
  • There's also the red hose branching off from the blue to the left, off to the second can do. What does this even accomplish?
  • Somehow, the 2 cans are also daisy chained together.

I'm very confused, could someone who is more knowledgable enlighten me on what is going on here?

I'm not sure who can really explain that setup except for Callisto. My only assumption with the red hose going under the CCV (blue) was possibly making another T connection to the DV hose. Based on the photo, it appears in this setup he believes a T connector is enough of a bypass to draw blow by towards the cans whether it's the PCV or CCV side.
