My little b3.3 had a crankcase breather that was a hose from the valve cover basically draining to the ground. In an effort to reduce spots on my driveway I added a mishimoto catch can. On my 2 week road trip this filled up and started blowing out the "out" side, which I just left open to air.
So. Im trying to figure out solutions.
1. I got a larger bottom for the catch can and am adding a petcock drain to be able to easily drain in regular intervals. That should help.
2. Debating adding one of these brass breathers on the "out" side of the catch can. Are these too restrictive? Will they clog with oil and prevent the breather from working?
3. Would the ideal solution be routing a hose from the "out" of the catch can to some sort of PCV valve on the intake before the turbo? or will the provide marginal benefit and maximal mess with all the blow by going into the intake and turbo?
