Elite Engineering - I have received two emails from the Tech Email address. First on 12/10 and the other on 12/24. Neither were very specific as to where to route anything and they informed me I needed to buy a “special high pressure relief valve”. I responded back asking for a part number or link to what I needed to buy, but never got any response. Never any mention that the E2 Can I already had wasn’t going to work.
This is my issue - there is a great amount of vagueness to the answers to the questions and level of support. There is never anything specific. I finally had enough and wanted to get my issue solved. I bought something else, put it on in 15 minutes as per the instructions and it works perfect. A suggestion would be to possibly work with a customer or two running centrifugal superchargers and develop a specific set of instructions for these applications.

Sorry I snipped all your other cut and paste propaganda. The only time the WILD is venting to atmosphere is during BOOST and how long do people stay in boost on average? .Seconds? The rest of the time it's under vacuum including Idle, Decel and normal every day driving. I personally disagree that your venturi effect is an adequate enough source of vacuum to safely vent the crankcase during high reving boost situations. I would be willing to bet that through the use of your 1 way check valves, etc that your 3rd Vacuum source aka (Venturi) has more pressure from the crankcase venting through it (Positive pressure) than it has vacuum pulling vapors out. I think I much rather have zero back pressure and vent to Atmosphere during Boost / High Rev and less risk to popping a front or rear seal than forcing those vapors through whatever length of Elite hosing back up and through the catch can and finally out the 3rd vacuum hose and end up barfing crankcase vapors into my Supercharger inlet pipe. .

Just as an update, it’s been about 8k miles or so with it so far. Haven’t had any problems or seals blown. It has caught a decent amount of oil. Being I don’t have anything to compare it to, nor have ever used catch cans before, I can’t really comment on the differences between units. But to be fair it has worked great so far.

Oh yeah and I didn't mean to imply Elites don't work. Looking back at your engine bay photo I see there's a 1 way check valve on the Vacuum source where you Tapped into your Supercharger inlet tube. I personally am not convinced that even at WOT there would be much of a vacuum present because for there to be anything worthwhile it would mean your K&N Filter is one clogged MOFO. Probably no guarantee that our seals would blow out either but I didn't want to risk it. You might be venting through the drivers side hose that connects to the factory oil separator and into the back of your K&N Filter. (That long hose that wraps around the back of the motor) |

I can't speak for anyone else here, but I myself have tried your product, trying to make sense of how to successfully plumb it to get it to work successfully because I am flying blind WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS. Well I received instructions - the ones that came with the kit for a N/A LT1 configuration and the other set being how to plumb it in a C7 Corvette with a Dry Sump LT4 / Positive Displacement install. The blower, valve cover, & air / oil separator on these two cars & engines are COMPLETELY different. I tried asking for the help, offered to buy whatever else I would need to buy to make it work and didn't even get a reply then. I talked to the other company I bought from on the phone for 10 minutes (I have never been able to get anyone at Elite on the phone). Dave told me which can, which bracket, and which fittings to buy and I had it car and working in 15 minutes. Problem 100% solved and I only blame myself for not giving up on the E2 earlier. All I can say is I HAVE ran both systems, and what I can say is that the MM Wild works in my application. No failed check valves (both of my elite valves failed pithing 500 miles running it on my n/a setup - I had to source additional ones out of my own pocket).
