Hi all I have a 1600 draw through supercharge set up on my beetle. Now for the crank case breathing all I have done is fit a silly little air filter on the oil filler neck but it’s not enough. I am about to fit some vented rocker covers and run a hose from the covers to a small Empi breather box. Now here’s my question. Do I need to run a hose from the breaker box to the air filter or is that a bad idea cause it will lead to oil mist running through the supercharge which may damage it and cause detonation.
Dose the crank case breather system actually need to see a negative pressure for it to suck out the crank case pressure?
Any advice on this would be appreciated
Many thanks
Adam

Re: Crank case breather help
What is it doing?
Sending oil out past the crank slinger?
Sounds like there is something going on to make too much blow by.
On my supercharged 2110 with 15# boost I only have valve cover breather 5/8" tubes going to a custom made breather with a small air filter and a drain back to the case where the factory breather was and have not had any problems.

The older I get, the faster I was.
