pcv system with paxton ?

breathers are the easiest.
Not sure on auto but I run breathers on my 6mt. I capped the end at the throttle body and capped the end on the intake tube.
I did just breathers but I am going to switch to moroso catch can with breather. Tired of cleaning spray off drivers side strut tower.
The stock paxton/vortech setup doesn't do a very good job, just removed mine the other day for breathers as oil was still getting by the valve.
Breathers
You don't have that blower just yet, you're not qualified to give advice on this subject for another few weeks lol
Got em coach
So on the vacuum block for the autos does the 3/8 line that went to the stock intake tube with the quick disconnect fitting get blocked off, or do you want to put a one way check valve and run in to the intake tube?

I have the same questions on my 2013 Auto. I just installed a Procharger and the instructions have you relocate the factory vacuum tree where that 3/8 line with the quick disconnect, and move it to the brake booster line by the firewall. And install the provided aluminum vacuum manifold where that tree was. The new vacuum block connects to that 1/2 hose to the intake behind TB and to the 3/8 hose feeding the brake booster. The PCV on the pass. side is capped off as well as the intake port by TB. A 5/8 hose is connected to the Driver side PCV line that connects to the barb fitting on the inlet tube by air filter. I noticed that Paxton does it differently. I probably changed the routing 5 times this week between running open breathers, catch cans, or just leaving it how the instructions say. I'm not sure which is the best route to go.
