Superchargers and PCV

I've been thinking about routing my pcv to the suction of the supercharger. Has anyone tried this with positve results? I was just wondering why ATI has us route the pcv to atmosphere and not the suction of the supercharger. Other than possible oil build up on the impeller I don't see why we couldn't route it this way.

heres what i did-i think ati sure took the cheesy way out with the way that they have you do the crankcase venting. the breather on rt. valve cover was extended to a nipple i installed in the rubber inlet on the back of the s.c. then the pcv valve i left in place (used one from a syclone\typhoon) and added a check valve that the turbo buick dudes run that splices into the pcv line. im thinkin that the company that i bought the check valve from is called atr, not sure though. the catalog is not here at my house, i will correct if i find out im wrong. try turbobuick.com and snoop.

The PCV valve is a check valve in itself. Shouldn't have any probs with it. On Ford T-Birds they hook it up to the compressor inlet like you were thinking of doing. That should work fine to.

tried just the pcv valve, a couple times-sooner or later they all allowed something past them and into the crankcase.
