[QUOTE="newsithlord, post: 29650, member: 11756"] I just got a 2017, 2.4, FWD. I see all the mods for the PCV system and had some questions that maybe someone could answer or maybe lead me in the right direction. I've watched quite a few YouTube videos (that makes me an expert right?) and I'm thinking of adding a regular PCV valve to a modified oil cap, connect to an oil catch can, and tee it into the brake booster line the connects after the throttle body. This new hose would be pulling air from the same "location" (above the cams) as the hose that comes out of the valve cover on the passenger side and connects to the intake before the throttle body. Is there any need to keep that hose on the passenger side of the valve cover if the new PCV line is added? I'd rather not have oil on the throttle body if it can be helped and I don't want to add a second catch can just for that. Less oil on the intake valves would be better too. I'd cap/plug the holes since they aren't being used. Also, if I add the new PCV valve, is there any need to clear the small hole in the intake manifold that is currently used as the PCV system? Can I just let it clog? It seems to be pulling from a different area of the engine. I'm assuming it's not pulling air from up top, above the cams, like the others. Has anyone capped off the "clean" side hose and added the "dirty" side for PCV? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
