I like the Saikou Michi setup. Dual can is the best way to do it. I am only running a can on the turbo inlet side to keep oil out of the turbo/IC.

Just remember, if the can is vented to the atmosphere, that means metered air is escaping before it reaches the combustion chamber.

Isn't the intake pulling a slight vaccum? Wouldn't it pull in air?

I think you mean extra air is coming into the combustion chamber that isn't measured...

Yup, but it also depends on the placement of it, and whether the car is in vacuum or boost.

A vented catch can will be a vacuum leak on a car with a maf....I personally run 2 sealed DC3 catch cans on my car running a "hacked" maf...Once I switched to SD I will run a vented catch can...
