Considering they're making a similar style strut tower brace..I highly doubt that the dual catch can setup they offer would interfere. Why would they design a product that didn't work with another they offer?

I have an air oil separator connected on my crank case vent on the drivers side head and oil reservoir for the AVo turbo kit. Any benefit from adding a second can on the PCV line?

I've been holding out for these and I'm glad I did.. They look fantastic! I guess I know where my tax return is going

I thought the PCV side was more critical to do first as it catches the majority of blow-by? Being turbo I'd imagine you'd really want both cans...

Radium kit looks nicely done, but I plan to order a second Radium catch can for the crankcase side, fabbing up the mounting and hose runs myself for much easier access with as short a runs as possible like I did for the PVC side.

I thought they were both for crankcase ventilation, except the passenger side has a valve that only opens under positive pressure (PCV) from crank case to intake manifold. The other 2 breathers are still ventilating, except that they are always open.

As for the PCV, my understanding is that a boosted application will push open a PCV valve backwards and pressurize the crank case since it's connected to the intake manifold after the turbo and will see positive pressure. The drivers side crank case breather is connected to the intake tract pre-turbo and will see negative pressure. I'm installing a check valve inline between the PCV and intake manifold and maybe another catch can if others agree that there is benefit.

This is what vortech has done. This should be inline with your idea.

I asked Crawford if this is necessary because I have bought their AOS. The feedback was no needed because they are boosting over 20psi but yet the stock pcv is holding fine.
