For a dual catch can setup it would be that plus the breather line in the back of the SC. Meaning one can between each line. I think if you were only running one you would do the breather line in the back but with FI dual catch cans would be best.

The one that really spews oil into the intake track is the PCV breather line that empties into the back of the supercharger. That is the line I would run a catch can on. I checked the other line you are referring to many times to find very very little oil there.

Dual catch would be best of course. You could always run both lines to the same catch and then vent it to air. Actually I wonder if you could plump both lines to a catch can and then plumb that to the nipple at the back of the supercharger. Is it ok if both breather hoses receive vac?

That's the line coming off the crankcase going into the supercharger? It's been a while since I've looked but will be going the intercooler upgrade soon so thought it might be a good time to do a catch can too.

Yes, the real short one in the back of the SC

With FI you'll want an air/oil separator between the block and the intake manifold, and another between the block and the intake pipe.

Does a one way check valve not work for Innovate owners?

Still confused about how you would do this. Never heard of this being done in place of a can.

So you would place a check valve in the lines and point them down to the ground? Oil/vapor would be able to escape out of the lines but nothing would be able to enter?

More the other way around. They wouldn't be able to escape, but air can go back in when there's vaccuum...

Unless I'm misunderstanding the intent here.

What is your intent?

We are concerned with the oil that is being spit into the supercharger plenum/intake tract from the PCV/breather.

A solution is to put a can in-line so that the oil never makes it to the intake tract.

My solution would be to use a check valve to prevent the air/oil mixture from reaching the supercharger via the PCV/breather.

I have seen this being used in other applications before. And generally will be a cheaper solution than a catch can. Worth researching and seeing if it works.

It's what we're using... (it's included in the kit that we have on our car)
