I realise this is an old thread, but there was some talk of fitting an aftermarket catch can (ie. Provent) to the TDV8. Has anyone actually done this with the 3.6L? I haven't pulled the factory filter off to inspect as it is somewhat buried beneath the intake, but my thoughts were wondering about the effectiveness of the factory item vs aftermarket or combination of both. I guess using both may cause additional restriction in the breathing which could create other issues similar to a blocked CCV. Anyone with some real experience?
It’s still on the cards for me. I haven’t really worked out the best way to do this.
I was looking to fit a provent to the driver side as that’s where the breather pipe is. The breather pipe slopes down the driver side of the motor to the driver side turbo.
The ideal would be to fit the provent somewhere at the top of the motor so to enable easy inspection of the filter. However that would result in the breather pipe sloping upward and collated oil flowing to a low point somewhere along the breather hose.
The other issue is getting triple jointed wrists fitted to allow me to get access to actually do this work. A more workable solution is probably removing the breather pipe and modifying on the bench and maybe fitting the provent down near the sump.
For now disabling the EGR seems to be helping enough.
In case it wasn’t clear I was retaining the factor CCV filter. I don’t expect a provent to cause any restriction going on my experience with another car.
