And, does the other line go back to the intake, and what stops that line from sucking the accumulated oil back into the intake?
Yes I built the tank as well...
One -10 line from each valve cover to the catch tank. The 3rd bung on the tank is just a line to the floor for now.
The larger -16 an fitting is actually a separate tank. It will be used for water/alcohol injection once the Novi 1000 is hooked up.
I left myself the option of adding a 3rd line to the intake for vacuum. I would just have to find a sufficient 1 way valve after the Novi goes in and boost is added... This car is my true daily driver. So, I can't always go the full race car way when it sees 270-300 miles a week. If my crankcase pressure isn't fixed with this I'll add the line to the manifold. If that dosn't fix it, I have other issues...

So after driving it a few days. I am pretty sure this fixed my crankcase pressure issue. I don't have burnt oil smoke coming though the dash vents anymore... lol.
But, I'm going to try and find a nice PCV valve anyways. I'll place it in the EGR spacer. And run that hose to the fitting that's being used as a vent. Then it will be a completely sealed system with vacuum pulling like it should be.
I have to find one that will handle the abuse of 10psi from the supercharger and fit a -10 hose. And also hopefully have a threaded end so I can tap the EGR spacer and fit it...

Do you still run your charcoal canister? Reason I ask is that if you have any empty real estate on the firewall, I think the lines would look cleaner running back there rather than stretching forward. Just an observation, not knocking your work. The tanks look very well done, and good job creating a fix to your problem.
So I ran a hose from the catch tank to the intake manifold today. No start...
I'm guessing it's seeing this as a large vacuum leak and since I'm still on the stock MAF, this is a no-go.
But dosn't a stock PCV Valve let air flow at idle? Why would this set up not work for me?
