Default Do I need 2 catch cans for Procharger setup?

I have a Procharger 10psi kit on my 08 GT. I'm wondering if I need a catch can on either side of the motor as one hose goes from the valve cover (driver side) to the intake and the other from the valve cover (passenger side) around the back of the engine and into the air intake, before the blower unit.

Lots of threads and opinions on this. Guys will put two catch cans on or two breathers or catch can on the driver side and breather on the other. Everyone has there own way and I looked on s197 forums to see what most were doing and then called brenspeed

I called Procharger and spoke to tech support. Their solution is to T-connect both sides into the catch can and then output into the air intake. Then cap off the hole in the intake manifold.

I had done what tech support recommended and ended up with nearly an engine fire as my dipstick got forced up and out while on the dyno. Now both valve covers have simple beathers as well as the oil input cap. Couldn't be happier.

You'd need a 1 way check valve with a centri or turbo, right? Otherwise you'd be sending boost into the crankcase.
