All Ecoboost owners with the RX catch can(dual check valves) installed system

Does they even realize gasoline production is a very big, rather elaborate catch can.
My stake in it all is I can never have my rig just shut down and pull over to the side of the road. My driving means a 18 wheeler eats me if I rapidly loose power on the 7 wide. I have to keep it clean.

Honestly I don't care what kind of engineer he is. He is one of the more knowledgeable members on this forum and when you ask him a question relevant to a topic, he doesn't skirt around it and tell the questioner he has nothing to contribute. Do you really think someone can't be knowledgable in an area they don't otherwise work?
Summer is coming along with the humid weather, so once I see these issues disappear and the reason they did, I'll be a sceptical. I am allowed to question a product.

Of course Mike is a knowledgable member, but if you are on the outside looking in, am I going to listen to a mechanical engineer with 40 year experience that makes his living working with direct injection boosted engine applications? Or someone on the internet that "claims" that he is an engineer (but has yet to reveal what kind of engineer?) that is a knowledgable forum member?:whistling2

No, it's not my full time daily driver.
How would I check for oil collecting @ the left turbo? My truck has been smoking a little more than it used to @ idle before it's up to operating temperature. That was one reason I removed the intercooler to check for oil/sludge, but found nothing. I have a catless downpipe, maybe that's why it smokes a little more than it used to?

And do you see your wife's gynecologist too?

Haha! Fair enough, but maybe you missed my point? There are a lot of doctors and engineers and such in the world, the trick is consulting the proper one to get the answer within the realm you seek!

I see at least 4 ways to get a lot of the H2O out.
1. Catch can system
2. Disconnect the Driver side Bov or Electric bov pipes
3. Do it the OEM way by just heating the air to dry it by CAC redesigns.
4. Design a better PCV evac system.
There are probably way more ways. Just like better Dr's LOL

And to add to this, to date we have 5 with the system installed that had been to the dealer 5-8-10 plus times for oil level rising and fuel smell in the oil. No success any visit. Then installed the system which caught the fuel and the next visit by each, with close to a qt of fuel/oil/water mix to show them, and DRAINING the RX can in front of them so they could see and look at the mix in person as well, along with a printed email from our tech support telling what to look for, each was diagnosed and fixed. So for the insurance alone, and the picture into what is happening in the crankcase (and just a catchcan will not show this, you must correct the PCV evac flaw so it is evacuated as soon as it enters the crankcase) seems a small price and a little hassle draining (like checking oil) to commit to for the peace of mind.

Ive been trying to find an answer to this question but i am not finding any so I'm coming here in hopes that someone can help me out. Has anyone installed the Monster RX can who has a Full Race front mounted intercooler? Based on the pictures I've seen and the mounting location it looks like my FMIC will be in the way but I'm not really sure? Do i have to mount it in the location that it is pictured in on the website?
