do you guys all run a catch can? i'll be putting my D1SC on my Mach only running 8-10lbs being its a stock engine.. Is there any pcv/vac problems with boost running through the pcv ? (a pals LS1 "catfish" is having such an issue and he found out now its a known thing to run a catch can and check valve after installing a blower) thanks !

you shouldn't have any problems with your setup. once the crankcase pressure starts rising though it's time to step up your game

Looks like that filters mounting diameter might be too large for an F1A blower (3.8 vs. 3.75) It would fit, but would need to be snugged down a lot. Also, what kind of CFM does that filter flow? Also, has some kind of nut mounted in the top hat area, not sure what that's for. Procharger makes a steel mesh filter for these headunits that works well for the street, it's not a bellmouth with a screen, it's an actual filter. I always run without anything over the inlet anyway, no big deal, I don't DD my cars.

It says they go up and down in mating size by 1/16" so it would fit a 3.75 flange according to them.
