    Re: Is CCV filter removal safe?

    I left the CCV filter in my truck but want to either run a S&B filter where hose comes out of filter or even just run a hose down the frame to get it out of the intake, is that alright to do that ?

    Be careful doing it this way. With the filter in, it's important to have the suction that is created from the intake to control crank case pressure.
    If you're going to vent to the atmosphere, I would gut the filter.

    I think gutting the filter, routing it to a catch can, and then back to the intake before the compressor is the best set up. The catch can should catch the oil, your CCV filter won't clog, and you still get a scavenging effect from the vacuum of the turbo. Just my opinion.

    Many of the older euro cars use catch cans and benefit from it.
    You can find many companies catch can for sale on the internet.

    You can actually find a bunch for the Mopar crowd as well. It is a pretty common add on for most of the Hemi stuff, Challenger, Charger, And even 1500 Rams.

    So I have been looking into the catch can option with a gutted CCV filter to atmosphere. Would it work to just add the catch can to an un-gutted CCV filter and the then run the output hose back to the intake/turbo. That way you get the pressure from the intake/turbo to draw the air/pressure from CCV, but interrupt the oil vapor in the can before it gets to the intake. CCV filter does its job as is and can collects any oil residue before turbo. Just thinking the vacuum would allow the filter to stay as is and the can would act like an intermediate filter/catch to stop the turbo from contamination. I haven't seen anyone comment as that being an option.

    There was a write up on another forum by a guy that did this.

    The install looked good but so little oil gets past the CCV filter that it was really more for piece of mind than anything.

    You can get the same benefit but just changing the filter a little earlier in its life cycle.

    It's a environmental thing.

    Frankly I'd rather have the oil captured than drop on the roads. Gent enough leakers on the road, When it rains, it makes the roads dangerous.

    I'd advise to just change the factory CCV filter at earlier intervals.

    I'll be doing 25k mile intervals when the time comes.
