This is how we recommend running it once you go forced induction.
The PCV valve is very restrictive and cannot pull a vacuum on the crankcase. Try sucking through the valve and you'll see what I mean. Removing it from the system allows more vapor/gases to exit the system and overall is beneficial. We ran it in this configuration for a year before going forced induction and removing the PCV valve all together with no issues.
Hope that clears it up some, I understand where you question comes from. Other systems do what we found out we had to do to get everything to operate in harmony in an OEM format.
Thanks,

Ok, so is the PCV valve being moved so that it's between the can and the air filter in the OEM format?
