Talked to Blazin, great guy got some good info from him. ZZP only uses a filter on their VC and so does Hahn. Not convinced that vacuum vs vent to atmosphere is a concern at 400hp and under (or under 24 psi).
I read your thread about your engine smoking and you ran your engine half empty oil. Did it end up being the PCV?

I know, the vids dont do it justice, so i got the CEL to go out for all but one Evap code, just need to remove the code sice i pulled the evap system off the car. There is no moresmoke off the engine and it has a nice ceramic powder coat smell, lol. The car is just awesome, so far.

I have a motor sitting with blown piston rings from excessive crank case pressure. Hook the system to a form of vacuum or be ready to deal with blown motors. All other cars that see boost deals with this, we arent any different.

With the Saab manifold, which vacuum line are you supposed to T into for a boost gauge. Also, does the dump tube go towards the passenger or driver side on the zzp turbo mani?

Josh, your system is different lol. Without knowing the details of your system, others here could attempt to mimic it and fail because they leave the stock stuff intact and then dont vacuum reference.
I personally am looking at setting up a vacuum pump on my car with a catch can in the middle of the system. Car is seeing a lot of pressure and want to vacate as mush as I can.

dont forget depending on your intake manifold (my hahn) there is a tube that is directly coming off the head into the manifold. this would vent the head when the TB slams shut and creates a vacuum. Problem with plumbing it to manifold can be that you pressurize the head as well under boost... I could also pull the hose off this and install it to the same catch can that you are using for you PCV, that would give you two oulets to depressurize the head/VC/crank case.
