Has anyone had experience with an adjustable blower idler with using a catch can? How was clearence and ease of emptying it with it mounted on the front passengerside of the supercharger..

Use a remote mount UPR, I check mine every outing when I’m beating on the car to look for blow by, it’s clean every time I open it except for in the cold where it condenses alcohol out of 85 there will be fluid in it that looks like water, but it’s not it’s alcohol.

Remind me to get pictures when I get home.

I have a JLT mounted in that area with a Bwoody Idler.

It's a bit wonky IMO but isn't kinked and works fine. Collects some if I'm out beating on it good. Not alot. Couple tablespoons maybe after several outings. I empty it when I get bored so it really varies. Sometimes there's nothing there at all.

It's also a hair tight in that area and you better empty it after it cools off because once it gets up to temp. Good luck gripping it and maneuvering it without burning yourself on either the catch can or the idler.
