3 port catch can?

Why is there so few 3 port catch cans? I'd like to tie the 2 valve cover fittings to a catch can, and have the outlet go to the turbo suction. There are so many vehicles with 2 valve cover vents, but very few people do it this way. I've only found a couple catch cans with 2 inlets and 1 outlet. Is there some reason that this isn't done very often?

It may not look as nice, but I have mine set up this way; It's a two port. I just used a "T" fitting and put the PCV and breather hose into one going into the catch can and then recirculating into the intake behind the MAF.

I really like that can. Saikou Michi just got back with me and says that he makes them too. He's got a couple pics that looked nice. Tough decisions!

Collin has built multiple different catch can setups, seems like everyone wants something different. Everyones setup/engine bay are different so its hard to make a good catch can that is "1 size fits all". He can build whatever a customer wants, all depends what you are looking for, where you want to mount it, how many inlets/outlets, sealed vs. vented, how much the customer wants to spend, etc...

VTA is not the way to go in my humble opinion.

The lines from the valve cover and the line to the intake are all -8an.


I had to remove the stock baffles to make sure i got all the shavings out and re-baffled the holes for the ports (using a much simpler method).


The suction port for the can on the intake was entered at an angle and notched on the leading edge to allow the air passing through that notch to help pull on the air/vapor in the tube.

On the PCV side i deleted the stock one and am using a single 3/8" plastic check valve.

So far with 300km on the motor the can's view sight appears clean, though i need to open the drain and see if there is anything inside. The check valve shows no oil residue on the inside.

after reading this...what if I have a 2 port catch can and i just connect a T-fitting to the lines before it reaches the catch can, and then shooting into the intake....does this create the same affect or it limited because its still joining into one line so therefore wont really do much for crankcase pressure?

I believe you would lose a little bit of suction due to reducing the size of the lines.
