Is it possible? I already just have a breather filter on the oil fill breather. But I'm talking about the whole PCV deal. Has there been any Custom fabs? I'm asking because I cleaned my throttle body a while back, and when I put in my plugs I noticed it was just filthy! Also I might be putting a tuner soon, and I want to get the most out of it.

My humble setup

Oh ya that's clear now. I don't think I'd need that much elaboration. I think maybe I can figure something out.

3rd gens have an internal PCV
There is a hose that you can run a catch can on the goes back to the intake I believe but you won't catch nearly as much oil

You have the engine ventrd from the fill tube, If you don't have residue on the filter then then oil is being controlled. It's the inlet side of the PCV anyway. As for your TB getting dirty maybe check your air filter. I use a tooth brush and brake cleaner with the TB removed to clean mine.

I can't believe that someone would go to all that trouble and expense on a motor, and not even realize the catch can is hooked up backwards and not even doing anything.
thats the air INLET for the PCV system, it's sucking air IN through that oil fill tube so it gets filtered air from the intake.

Really? 7yrs later? Twice?

^^I cant believe someone just replied to a 7 year old thread lmao.
Believe it, did it twice lol: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/pacesetter-headers.39342/page-2
Happens all the time, people find something and either they're totally lost and don't look at the date or they have a strong opinion about the subject and absolutely must comment on it.......the worst I've seen is 15 so far lol. I mean, I guess we should be happy they're using the search bar lol?

Hmmm was following the thread with great interest then deflated.

By the way, sometimes physical appearance trumps functionality. Lol
