Running a catch can question
I'm considering running a catch can since I can feel oil in my intercooler to throttle body hose with black crap in my throttle body, I'm just wondering can I just completely delete the pcv by attaching the pipe from the crankcase to the input of the catch can and just run the a hose from the out side to the road or something so I don't use any of the by product crap air? I'm assuming it won't hurt anything, I'm not planning to get an expensive catch can (i would get like a $20 one of eBay without a filter)
Does what I just said make an logical sense? Or should I just stop being difficult and run a catch to the pcv hole?

well since you're an aeb, you could either plug one hole on the can and just run the pcv to the can and vent it through a small filter to atmosphere. Or get your valve cover drilled and have a weld-in fitting put in so you can run two lines to the can. These are both if your not going to recirc it through the intake.

I deleted the pancake valve, plugged it with an aluminum plug from 034, and run a vented catch can (also from 034) off the PCV vent tube on the valve cover. I don't believe you have one of those though being an AEB, so you can vent from the block breather.

Pancake valve is what I was talking about, I thought it was called a pcv valve. So basically I can just plug the hole, take off the hard pipe and just let the breather do the rest? Or should I connect a catch can to the end of the hard pipe?

Same-same, just a different name for the same part. I ripped all of the hard piping and bullshit out and ran my catch can off the valve cover breather. You can probably run a block breather adapter from 034 straight to a vented catch can. It will stink a little bit if you drive with your windows down though.
