Got a 97 cobra with a Vortech V1 blower. Do I need an oil catch can on both the driverside and passenger side valve covers.

Can I just put the Stedda unit on the PCV valve on the driver side?

Thanks for the help.

I would,I have had oil sucked into the intake as well as into the impeller of the blower.I switched to breathers and never looked back.

What did you use one the passenger side? I tried the Moroso oil catch can with the breather and I was getting a vacuum leak.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get the water seperator for air compressors. Run it inline between the PCV and intake.

You have to run breathers on both sides or not at all,and make sure you remove the pcv valve before you put the breather in.I also used the compressor water separator setup for a while.but i wanted to clean up the engine compartment.

When you are running the breathers do you notice any oil coming out of them?
