UPR catch can with Procharger

[GuardGT]

i bought these and a multi pack of vacuum caps and matching hose clamps from my local parts store. the filters fit perfectly over the motor side nipples and the 5/8" caps closed up both sides perfectly. impossible to have any oil bypass and the filters are still pristine after 1000 miles

For those of you using breathers what ones do you suggest? I assume it wouldn't matter what centri sc you are running.

They attach directly to the valve covers so what type of FI you're running doesn't matter.

What is the advantage or disadvantage to running breathers over a catch can setup? Obviously no oil can get into the intake tract... what is the downside?

FWIW, I had the Ford Performance catch can on my '17 GT for about 3500 miles and when I pulled it off to install the blower, there was 3-4 ounces of oil in it. Not a lot.

Advantage of breathers is that it's physically impossible for any oil to reach the intake. They are cheaper and less hoses/plumbing to run..

Disadvantage is that if not cleaned often enough they will saturate with oil and drip on your valve covers. You will also smell the blow-by at times if that bothers you.

A little update. I just changed the oil after about 4,000 miles. Re-checked the UPR catch can and actually found about 2 oz. of oil/condensation in there (about 800 miles since I last checked it). The temps here in Arizona have dropped dramatically in the past few weeks and has been rainy. I think alh395's theory of cooler/damp weather playing a role is good one.
I have the nose of the car apart again so I can weld my Tial BOV on the driver side intercooler tank and weld bungs on my charge tube for the meth system. I was extremely pleased not to find even a drop of oil anywhere in charge tubes or intercooler. The UPR Procharger specific catch can must be doing an ok job. The car has just shy of 5,000 miles, nearly 4,000 of which have been with the Procharger installed.

If it was milky in color then you know outside temp caused condensation to build up.
