No oil in MM catch can
Had the MM catch can installed about 600 miles ago, not a drop of oil in it before I went to the track. 4 sessions on track today and still not a drop of oil. Crankcase is at the full mark on the dipstick. I would think there should be something in it. Both of my SS catch cans captured oil pretty quickly. Photos of the install:

I;D SAY YOUR LUCKY, IF THERE'S NOTHING IN IT AND IT'S HOOKED UP RIGHT, I'S BREATHING AND THE ENGINE'S PERFECT. IF THIS IS A ZL1, WELCOME TO THE CLUB. THEY ARE ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY BY HAND, MORE EXACT THAN A N/A MOTOR. BETTER WORKMANSHIP, BETTER RESULTS.
IT'S THAT GREAT GM FEELING! |

I can see your T off the brake booster, can’t really see your connection to the pcv delete at the valley plate?
Full disclosure im not a MM fan, he makes his product look pretty but I think it’s hit or miss if his internals provide proper evacuation or allow pressure build up.

I think his plumbing looks correct. I don't think you actually delete the PCV valve with this setup. Just put a can between valve exit and intake vacuum.

If it's installed correctly, give it time. By the time you change your oil at 3-5k miles, you'll have some oil in it.

That looks right OP. I had the MM wild installed on my car and took it to the track. Needless to say, I got oil EVERYWHERE. I ended up realizing I can't use the wild and need the mild with the recirculating top. Not the open / vent top.

1) actually provide data about venturi suction under boost scenarios. I heard Tracy Lewis say something like 14 inHg on a Dodge in a YT comment, but I've never seen real data. 2) make their website better so you can actually order a damn E2X Ultra without having to email them. 3) don't come across as a-holes on forums.

My mild MM install deleted the OEM PCV. Oil is present in the catch can at 600 miles for sure.

Only adding for reference:
EE 3-port here, and I usually get about 1-2 TBSP of oil per oil change (oil change by OLM time - not mileage), so about every 10-11-months or so. There's hardly enough oil film to really wipe-off by finger, but some does accumulate on the discharge side of the discharge port. So - I know a little gets by. I see up to about 15-16-psi, at WOT.
