Possible PCV fix?

[GypsyMustang]

Bear with me here, I put in a high flow chatted down-pipe on my 2016 ecoboost mustang and noticed immediately there was white smoke at idle... I looked into it and found out it was because of the pcv system.

I watched a video on the upr catch-can and gutted the pcv valve and put the upr check valve on my Mishimoto catch-can system. It tamed the smoke, but not all the way and would randomly billow out A LOT of smoke. I checked the catch-can and it was almost empty so I know blow-by wasn't spilling into the manifold side hose. I researched some more into the subject and read that the pcv system may not have enough pressure to push the oil up into the catch-can and remembered that the upr can pulls a vacuum from the air intake tube.

Now, hypothetically speaking, if I were to put a T connector on the manifold side catch-can hose, between the can and the checkvalve, and attach the hose between the T and the intake tube, would that be an efficient way to pull more oil out of the pcv? Or would it be useless because of the manifold already having a vacuum.

Also, because of the vacuum on the intake tube, the checkvalve would possible forever remain closed and practically plug the intake manifold port. Would that be an issue as well?

Make sure you put the check valve on the right way

 

[GypsyMustang]

Check valve is already in and facing the right way. The thing I'm curious about is putting the T connector in

Can't help you there. I jumped to a Full-Race delete plate and Radium Engineering pcv valve.

I was looking into the radium cover, did it help?

 

[Woodshop77]

Yep

Why the full race over the radium?

 

[Woodshop77]

Bought it before Radium made one...

Then added the pcv...

I cant decide, they look similar but definitely are different in design.

Go Radium.. same price

Anyblinks on a diy install?

did you tune for the decat? Any tunes meant for a catted car fill be running a bit rich to keep the cat active and be dumping extra fuel out of the exhaust if the cat is gone.

I installed the mbrp carted downpipe, so it's still catted, just smaller. I also use cobb and went to a stage 3 tune

One of the lines on the UPR DVCC already pulls vacuum from the intake tube. It's designed in such a way to have vacuum in the canister under both vacuum and boost conditions.

It's peculiar to me that you wouldn't see any/much oil in the canister. I noticed a decent increase when I gutted my PCV.

I have a mishimoto cc, it pulls from the intake manifold but what I'm asking is if I blocked off the intake manifold side and pulled from the intake tube instead, using the UPR cc as an example.
