    For those who have tapped the front of their valve covers for blowby pressure, did you construct any baffling to keep oil out of your remote mounted breather?

    I you have any pics, lets see your setup!

    Most remote breathers (catch can) are designed to separate oil from air.

    Why do you need to tap anything? The valve covers should already have a vent hole right in the center of them, one for PCV (vacuum) and one to vent when in non-vacuum situations (or boost).

    They also have a baffle behind them to keep oil from spraying out.

    The size of the OEM venting becomes the issue in boost, many run -10, or even a pair of them. Also the OEM venting location typically leads to the TB which will become pressurized.

    What valve covers are you running and what size breathers ports/lines?

    I found fuel cell foam works great as baffling/oil separator. It's retentively cheap as well.
