Mine used to be a simple breather type of set up, but I got tired of the smell. And on the forged 6L, it didnt like it at all.

I just put a breather on the passenger side and a check valve on the driver side between the intake manifold and stock pcv.... working good for me and seemed to be the simplest route.

Both valve covers have filters venting to atmosphere. Running around 13psi. Think I will eventuality run them both to a vented catch can though.

I see a lot of you guys running w/ out vacuum. Are there any issues with doing that?

Reason I'm asking is- that people w/ catch cans running vacuum to them all say that when they empty the catch can after a while gross liquid would come out of it

My catch can is under vacuum and I've never seen anything like that come out of it...
