    Awsome thread. for a problem people dont know they have.

    Is this issue just magnuson? or is it an inherent problem with all Superchargers. is the turbo immune?
    I will be posting my fabrication and install. I believe the issue applies to any motor with forced induction because the boost in manifold pressure increases PCV vacuum which increases crankcase vapor pickup.

    I'm no expert but will post my fab and install and advise on the choices I make on materials, mounting location, hardware, techniques and such. I hope to have lots of pics and get feedback from you all as I go. First step is to get my catch can which seems to have been misdelivered by USPS. I'm tracking it down. I have 1/2 in. stainless tubing and tools pulled together. I need the can and a few stainless compression fittings. I hope to start this weekend.

    OK. My catch can arrived! Many thanks to BilletTechnology.com for overnight delivery of a replacement for the can that was lost in the mail. Great customer service!

    I am planning on using hard lines rather than hoses. But the hoses come with the can no matter what and you can never have enough spare parts in the shop.

    Here is the 1/2 O.D stainless steel tubing that I purchased from www.onlinemetalsupply.com.

    Next is out to the truck to pick a location for the can. Billet Technology doesn't make a kit specifically for the JK so I purchased their "fender mount" kit which has the swivel and bolt. I figure it will afford me the most options. Also, most catch cans are attached to the engine somewhere near the intake. It's OK to do this but there is a better practice. It is best to mount a catch can as far from heat as possible so that vapors will condense on the way to the can. If you put the can in a really hot location more oil may stay in the gasses. I know that the real difference in temperature under the hood is probably one degree or two but I'm going to try to be as picky as I can.

    Here's a picture of the mounting option I chose.

    It's really tight under the hood. So the best location I can find is to the left of the brake master cylinder. It's about as cool a location as I can expect. Looks like there's enough room to service the can.

    But . . . the horn is in the way so the horn will have to be relocated. Here are the factory horn mounting parts. I'll see if I can re-use them or reconfigure to get the horn out of the way.
