It may help some but, from what you're describing it sounds like you have either a ring or piston problem.
I do have a one way valve, have tried a few diffrent types in fact. I'll try and find the link to the Napa part I'm using now, very similar to the one Parish has been running.
I don't often hear or even remember radix guys complaning about this issue of excess pressure in the crank case, what if anything does Magnacharger include in the kit to keep this from happening? I'm interested in knowing the plumbing routing if there is a mod from the factory set-up.

Magnuson has no additional features with their kit to assist in crank case evacuation... other than hooking a 3/8" fuel hose from the driver side valve cover to the back of the j-tube. For the passenger side the same thing from the valve cover to the bottom of the intake duct. Thats it... at least for my 06 application. I will tell you that it has not been effective for me... and prolonged WOT runs. I have had my j-tube off the back of the supercharger 4 times now... and at least 1/2 teaspoon of standing oil is sitting in it when I pull it off. No doubt the motor is injesting oil... as usual. Note that the oil injesting problem is not because of forced induction... these GENIII motors tend to turn oil into a heavy mist at high RPM's and the oil is simply carried out via PCV or anything else sucking it out. My experience with the C5 guys is that they have been fighting it since the inception of that platform in 1997. I remember when the thing to do was to go down to Home Depot and buy a Campbell Hausfeld oil seperator, you know like the ones that are on compressors, and it install it as a catch can on a STOCK ENGINE. C5 guys couldn't believe how much oil they were catching... and I have watched "GENIII Catch Can Technology" evolve from there.

I don't think there is a problem with it for most people no matter what form of FI. Have you guys seeing excess crank case pressure done leak down test on your engines? Most of the time when I hear about excess crank case pressure problems it's from a ring or piston problem.

This is a little off topic, sorry.

Oh, the hoses on the radix are all hooked up like the stock PCV routing. Now that I think about it none of the PCV hoses on the radix kit should see boost at all since they are not hooked in below the compressor.

Nice cog drive stuff... PM me the details if/when GM GENIII stuff may ever come available. Is it working well for you? Its been tried on several different occasions on the GM GENIII single accessory drive with no reliable luck.

I like the hose connection covers too.

Very nice and clean ride bro...

Bill
