I am running a procharger and wondering if any running forced induction has had problems with knock or detonation when not using a catch can or using breathers.I just starting havin problems and wonder if this could be the cause.

Pull off some of the piping and filter see how much oil you have in there. On my procharger both the filter and intercooler piping was bone dry with no oil residue. Oil catch cans are always a good idea on boosted applications though!

Yea i pulled off some of the piping and it was dry,i was told that when racing the blowby is a real fine mist and it mixes with the fuel/air mixture and can cause detonation.I have some logs to send to lund but i might run breathers to see if it helps with the breaking up at shifts and sometimes higher rpms.

Sounds like fuel quality issue.
Man im really hoping that is what it is,only thing that bothers me is i had 2 too 3 gallons of 103 oct mixed with the little 93 i had,but i have my fingers crossed.

Does anyone have directions on how to install the UPR separator on a procharged car? I'm not sure how it's supposed to be plumbed up i.e. what hose goes where. Mine didn't come with any instructions.

Has anyone taken the UPR remote mount catch-can from an NA setup and used it with a Pro-Charger?

So UPR makes a dual valve catch can just for the PC set-up. Not sure about the standard one.

Here is a pic of mine...set up just like the diagram above. The one thing not shown in the diagram is that the IMRC line tees into the PCV dirty line. Circled in photo .

I'm curious as well. I'd rather not have to sell this one and buy another after going boosted.

Well I sold my old upr one and after selling someone told me I could have reused. I would just need to find new cables that's would reach that far
