    You might consider swapping out the PVC valve for one that is from a boosted vehicle. Ones from NA vehicles are usually pretty trash at preventing the boost from leaking back into your crank case. Even better would be to replace the fitting on the valve cover with an AN fitting and then replace the valve with a AN check valve and a metering orifice at the intake side. That way you NEVER leak boost into the crank case and you can set exactly the amount of air can pass while under vacum; you'll get better idle performance and won'y be chasing boost control issues.

    FYI, If your using push lock fittings, and those lines will see boost pressure, you may need to run a clamp. The only fittings you don't need to run a clamp on would be the official Russell Twist-Lok fittings. The difference is they have 3 barbs, instead of 2 barbs on the fitting. I figured this out the hard way on some oil lines a few months ago. It worked for a few weeks then popped off. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

    You guys should have explained how the catch can itself works, like what goes on inside them. The biggest thing you see with cheap catch cans (and even some expensive ones) is that they don't have baffling in them, so they are just empty space. Those don't do a whole lot. You want to have ones that are baffled so they can slow down the oil and fuel vapor that's going through them, and add surface area to help cool down the vapor so they condensate back into liquid. Empty catch cans don't work nearly as well as baffled ones. And typically you can simply put in some metal wool pads inside empty cans to help them work better. You can use steel wool, but I'd recommend purchasing aluminum or brass wool (which are fairly cheap) and those will work much better as they have a much higher thermal conductivity than steel wool does, including stainless steel. Higher thermal conductivity means it'll transfer heat much better and will cool things down faster. That's why radiators and intercoolers are made from aluminum instead of steel.

    Those Radium units are pretty nice quality. If you're setup with a tig machine, a great way to build one is out of an old reciever dryer. If you don't run an a/c anymore, you can even use the stock location that it resides in, for most instances. Grab yourself a few fittings, some hose, and clamps and you're in business. I've built a few of these with old reciever dryer canisters. You can find them for free in most cases and they come in many different sizes. Just a tip I've used in my years turning wrenches/ fabbing up stuff on a budget. You can throw some paint on one and make it look 'store bought' if you're concerned about the look of it even. I prefer the wrinkle black paint that VHT sells. 😎

    I feel weird that they used worm-drive clamps on a temperature-cycling application. Need to look into gates power grip clamps. They look sick and work best. Otherwise, get the spring clamps. They can be a pain to install, but they won't leak on you. That's why most OEMs use them.

    @@IkaraPentiki Hose clamp elitism?? How can a worm clamp be that bad, i mean come on, it has one single job. I *have* had spring clamps leak because they don't provide enough clamping force to stop hose movement, and gates power grips are one time use. One single-use 2" power grip is literally 6$, when I can get a stainless steel worm clamp for like 2 bucks that can be reused countless times. I'll stick with a normal worm clamp, even on my temperature cycling engine lol. Edit: Just wanted to say that they are in southern california, so the temperature swings there are so minimal that they're pointless to even think about. Gates power grips are meant for big rigs that see frigid temperatures. Also, worm clamps can be installed without even removing the hose from its barb, particularly useful when replacing a leaky spring clamp on a coolant hose.... Edit2: Tbolt clamps are better than worm clamps, and I use them for highly important things like radiator hoses and such. Even so, they use the same concept as the worm, in general.

    @@jonathonhebert7042 A lot to unpack here. A worm clamp is terrible because as the engine bay (and indeed the fitting) temp goes up, the hose expands. However, worm clamps do not. If a spring clamp is leaking because of not enough tension, it can always be easily replaced with a worm clamp as a stop-gap, though either the hose is likely hard (meaning it's not clamping the fitting, but the hardened hose) or the clamp was insufficient in the first place, or incorrectly installed (and thus damaged). Gates power grips are one time use, and a little shopping, depending on size, can get them pretty cheap. However, they also have no footprint on the connection (or basically none) preventing cuts, snags, or other mechanical obstruction that even spring clamps cause to some degree. They are also going to provide a seal even in some cases where the hose end has failed due to hardeneing as they seal up and around the fitting. Regardless of where they live, temperature in the engine bay swings from air temp at full cool (even in southern california, this is maybe 105 at the most, right? maybe 110?) to over perhaps 240, or higher, depending on the engine's thermostat, cooling fan switch, evaporator temp switch, and the heat being flushed into the engine bay by the exposed exhaust components. Do a rip down a drag strip with and then see what the air temp in the engine bay is. Or pull a lap at the track and check it at the pit. Gates power grips are not just for big rigs with huge temp swings. Motorcycle manufacturers have a tendency to use crap parts, and my Suzuki v-strom was replete with worm-drive clamps from the factory. When i flushed the coolant system and replaced the worn hoses, i replaced all the clamps with power grips. I didn't have any trouble finding the small sizes i needed in order to accomplish this, and they have been flawless in the 3 years since. T-bolt clamps _are_ better than worm drives, in large part due to their smooth surface and lack of un-even extrusion and generally concentric contact pattern so long as the right size is used. Sprung T-bolt clamps would rate just above power-grips in my mind, as having the ease of installation of worm-drive clamps, and the automatic tensioning of spring clamps. However. T-bolt clamps of both stripes are nearly as, if not in some cases more expensive (depending on size and supplier) than power-grip clamps. They do get a point for re-usability though. There are similar pros and cons to using compression fittings, which are infinitely re-usable but have obvious cost concerns (as the fittings have to be replaced and the hoses have to be matched perfectly). But... yes, hose clamp elitism if you want to call it that, though i'd say that it's not elitism to suggest that "the way it's always been done around here" might not be the best way to do it.

    You may not need it much in SoCal or other arid locales but most of the rest of the world makes regular use of windshield washers. For PCV oil management there's also the option of using a small oil vapor separator and plumbing its output into the oil pan. This removes oil from the PCV system and delivers it directly to the oil pan where it's removed at the next oil change which means there's no need to install and check/drain a catch can on a regular basis.
