After the couple of post Ive made in this thread I thought I would let you guys know that after installing the Stefs catch can on the drivers side with my Procharger and 300-400 mi and blowing a motor with rings gaped at .032-.035 that there was not a drop of oil in the Stefs can. Funny thing is when the breathers were on the car the pass side would get soaked . This tells me that the can should be on the pass side of the car. After installing these breather cans it seams all the vapor comes out the pass side . Take from it what you what but this has been my experience with this.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm asking it anyway.

Why do you use this reducer - 9892120ERL instead of the other reducer - 989410ERL?

The both are Female 12AN to Male 10AN reducers. Just curious?

i have since switched over to a full breather setup, and like ebr stated above, i notice more oil coming out of the pasenger side valve cover. soon i will get the oil cap breather too.
ebr, that is a clean setup you got

So which is better... the breather setup on the passenger side? Or the catch can set up on drivers side...

i think the best setup would be a breather catch can on both sides, like Ebr has on top of the page, w/ a breather on the oil cap. or you could do both sides into one catch can. i did the breather setup on both sides bc it just looks better to me, there is blow by mostly from the passenger side that i check weekly and clean it off the valve cover, i only drive it on weekends so once a week check is enough for me. for the best, you should do both sides, some may say this is overkill, but i dont like to leave 1 stone unturned.

I put a stef can off the passenger side. It hasnt been catching oil, more like water. Super smelly water at that. It doesnt take long for a bunch to get in it either. But at least I no longer have a bunch of crap dripping from the S/C inlet.
