PCV line

I just installed a Greddy oil catch can and my line from the pcv valve to the catch can seems to vacuum itself shut. To give you details.... I have an oversized line for the setup. I think there are 2 sizes available for the catch can setup and I got the larger of the 2 for a cheap price so I modded it to fit. There are no vacuum leaks and the line that goes from the catch can to the intake mani is fine. Any Ideas?

Im confused a bit, you are saying that there is a valve on the line going from the pcv valve to the catch can, and it is shutting. If this is the case then it sounds like u have the valve on backwards. PCV should blow out oil and crap in to the catch can.

You routed the PCV to the catch? I heard that was a no-no on N/A. I was told that I'd be pretty safe if I just used the EGR line.

I hear you there about the line shutting. But I'm positive its not on backwards....theres only one way it can go.

I think Boe told me it screws up the idle. But my memory is kinda fuzzy of that e-conversation.
