There goes your boost. Put a one way check valve in you PCV if you want to keep it, vent the covers, or run a catch canwhen I pump air into the brake booster line, air comes out of the pcv. both sides.

No on both. Anything that you don't want to see boost needs a check valve. Check valve less air pass one way, but not the other. So the PCV can breathe like it should under vacuum to evac the crankcase. But under boost it locks up and forces your boost into the intake where it belongs. If it as a turbo, you would still see your target boost. A blower will only move so much CFM at a given rpm w a pulley. You are essentially bleeding boost off into the crankcase. Depending on your setup you can lose a ton of boost if you side is vented. Maybe not as much if they both go to the intake. But do not boost until you fix. You do no want boost on the backside of the piston rings forcing oil up into the combustion chamber. That's an easy way to lower octane and lose and engine.
Come to think of it, I think the vortech kit did come with a check valve for the passenger side PCV and I didn't put it on when I installed the catch cans. Chit!
Do you have any black dust behind the head unit or anywhere at all?
OK. Read this carefully.
If you have a fancy catch can set up then all you need to do is CAP or PLUG the intake port in the intake manifold behind the throttle body that used to go to the pass side valve cover. That's it.
If you have already done that then move on to the next step.
Why don't you post some pics of this stuff so we can see what is going on.
im going to see if I can get the GoPro charged up and take a quick video for you on what to do and what to look for when boost leak testing.
That would be much appreciated
What are you spinning this bad boy too?
