Basically I am looking to convert my factory hoses to something different and aftermarket. Question I have is what have some of yall gone with? THe factory check valve is where I get stuck because I want to get one with AN threads so I can replace them with some nice stainless pipe I got (I will be posting that configuration soon and how I did it) which is 3/8" around the right size when compared to factory. Pics and some places where I can find a check valve would be great.

For my oil catch can set up I will be running -6 hoses from the valve covers which I hope is large enough?

I would suggest polishing the check valve, you could get those clamp covers that look like AN fittings and you keep the stock check valve functionality!

I would go -8 for the PCV system, btw. More flow = win in the PCV. Be sure to plumb it correctly so it actually works, too!

def have it plumbed right haha had it backwards and under a run into boost and letting off it would smoke :( redid that and now no smoke woot!

I know I have seen some people run an aftermarket style check valve but not sure what type and if it's close to stock functionability to ours. I think nashman has one that is like that
