Crankcase vent. Getting Prepared
 
I have listed in another thread im doing a procharger system on my pickup and was reading other threads about crankcase pressure. I have the ls6 valley cover for my pcv system and the driver side valve cover blocked off. What else should i do to relieve pressure when i set up my Procharger? Besides that I am wondering about the vacuum block port that i have purchased. I am going to be running my bypass valve, boost gauge, and vacuum mod on my transmission to this. Can I just T of the brake booster with a vacuum check valve between it and the vacuum block(which be located between the intake and the brake booster hose)? Or can the Brake booster see boost? (I know my vacuum mod can't so ill be running a VBP-VAC on the line)

Thanks,
Kyle

The brake booster is fine seeing boost...your brakes will just suck while in boost. I suggest a hydroboost swap...

Do not block off the driver side valve cover. Run it to a vented catch can at the least.

Ok well Im running the ls6 valley cover and i previously blocked off the driver side to run the new pcv system. So if I run an vented catch can were do i run the return line to?

If you are running a speed density tune you can just vent it to atmosphere (no return needed), but if you are still using the maf you need to put it somewhere after the maf on the intake. Also if you are using the maf you cant have a vented can, only a sealed one.

Ok sounds good. So the driver side to a vented catch can. The rest of my pcv system should remain the same?
