Alright, Im probably getting my Elite Catch can today, along with my LS6 valley cover. This is what Im going to do.

Run the Drivers side port to a oil/air seperator then to filter then to free air.

Run the LS6 vallvey cover port to Catch Can then to TB

Cap off the front passenger side port

Cap off the passenger side rear port.

Install the oil cap breather that Sarge posted.

Then enjoy no more oil in my intake.

Does that all sound good? Only thing that im not 100% on is capping off the passenger side back port. (The port closest to the firewall on passenger side)

Correct?

Cap it off unless your highly modified or using the juice.

The catch can and bracket came from Home Depot or just the hoses? I thought you were making the catch cans yourself. If these are locally available and I can make them then I'd like to tackle that, especially the catch can.

No the Husky air filter came from home depot and the brass fittings for the 2nd catch can.

well since your car came with one i would imagine that you should have one back on there (stock for stock) even if you go with the set-up sarge did you will need one. What did you do with the hose that use to go into the valley cover?

I dont know ..a mechanic did it...well yea im going to get the ls6 cover now..ay you think maybe that why im getting this code???

P0101
BBMAP(man, absolute pressure)/BARO or MAF(Mass air FLOW) / VAF(VANE air FLOW) sensor condition..

it could be, im not to sure on the codes but maybe sarge is. I would think that if it came that way from the factory, changing it would not be something you would wnat to do. now it is not working the way it was designed. how are you venting now? where do those hoses go, have you looked?

it just looks like the older ones i guess..like its just all closed..

**Dr.Crash** · 04-28-2009, 04:29 PM

ya would say change that over to the LS6 valley cover since thats the only thing that changed (right). hopefully that will get rid of the code

Damn Home Depot next to me said the didnt have any kind of seperators. WTF? So I went to Tractor Supply (Michigan Thing I think) and bought one for 18 bucks. Plus my KN "style" filter. Got the 3/8's hose for free from autozone actually. I completely copied your setup.

Now if only my car had a rear end in it.
