that wont stop the problem though, unless its jammed shut

i ran mine with both lines going into a can.
i didnt have any issues.
if you do that and have leaks then maybe its time for a rebuild.
while it wont create a negative pressure in the crank case, it wont cause much in the way of pressure either.

this is how i set mine up. no problemos, mayb not be the best way though, not entirely sure.

ontop of that, u can run a sealed catchcan with a feed back to the intake pipe to more replicate the factory setup but with the gases being removed.

A sealed catch can will not remove the gasses as they are in the air and just float straight through.
It will remove the lumps, but if there are lumps in there you ,have more than vapuor problems,

And it affects anything that runs a knock sensor.

i know lots of guys who put a roll of steal wool in the catch can for the vapors to pass thru and filter out the grime and exit cleaner air back into the intake system hole as said above.
