You can get rid of it and add another breather.

I run twin catch cans. Most forced induction stuff around where I live do the same thing.

Re: where to run my pcv?

i run two edelbrock breathers one has a vacume line to the intake, the othe other has a a line to the procharger air filter. i dont have any issues now with oil blow by. the other way to do it is to have a catch can on each side of the engine or wherever u mount the catch can. just run a pcv line to each catch can a you will prevent blow by.

Re: where to run my pcv?

so a pcv on both valve covers to a shared catch or one pcv to a catch can and a breather on the other side?
