Thank you for the clarification. One more question and I will leave you alone for the day. So one of these would go (at least in my particular application) between the catch can and the intake manifold. If I understand correctly then the other one goes on the crank case line which as I mentioned I was planning on putting a filter on. Would the second Krank Vent go on that line between the filter and the valve cover, or should I not even put a filter on it?
I recently changed my PCV and noticed it and the lines to it were wet with oil.
I rememeber seeing a Steeda ( I Think) kit that installed after the PCV valve to prevent oil from running back into the Intake Manifold on Mustangs. It looked alot like a screen style in-line fuel filter. So I went to an Auto Store and bought an In-line fuel filter ( A cheap one because im not sure if its gonna work out) and Installed it after the PCV and before the "T" that goes back into the manifold. So far I noticed it HAS collected a few drops of oil, this is just after 2 days.

This is in reference to venting your crancase (side of valve cover) thru a filter and releasing these vapors directly into the atmosphere vs. running through a vac hose back into the intake tract which eventually makes it's way out throught the exhaust (catalytic converter) and if burned off before entering the atmosphere.

Ok, not to be a dick but how in the hell can this thing give us 20 more WHP?
"Our current latest and greatest item is the Krank Vent Mini system. The Krank Vent Mini is a must-have unit for any vehicle make or model that is boosted or naturally aspirated (it is a universal application). A major benefit to using the Krank Vent systems is that it helps to seat the rings properly to avoid losing power. There have been cases of over 20whp gains by using this system!"
That almost sounds like magic stickers. Not to flame that is just one heck of a claim.
I have over 114,000 miles on my MSP at 12-17PSI and I have used Mobile1 from 2000 miles until present. I just started to notice some elevated oil consumption so how is it this thing will be my 20WHP oil savior?
The oil consumption is not even that bad I was about 1/2 a quart down on my oil change and I change the mobile1 every 10-12k miles on average. I know the amount of oil lost because I pour the oil back in the bottle after I am through and take it to the parts store. Now I do keep it topped off during the week if needed. And yes that is not a precise measurement LOL.
I drive about 30,000 miles a year. I use the synthetic for the following reasons: 1.) reduced tendency to coke or cook. 2.) For the prolonged oil change intervals.
So far it has worked well as I have a high mileage motor in a short amount of time, that has been beaten to heck at elevated boost levels and it still runs like it did when I bought it new back in 03 except it makes a lot more power now and it gets better milage oh and I still have the original platinum plugs in it
Yes, I am changing those very soon.

Well... i can personally attest to losing at least that amount when i rerouted the PCV back to the stock location. It doesn't say it will give you 20hp, it says someone, somewhere reported 20whp gains. That doesn't mean it was on a 170hp MSP, it could've been on a 1000hp supra, so its all subjective. In there thread on S2ki i think they saw 2-3hp increases in power over the NA powerband. I would think (and agree) that there would be significantly more on a boosted application.
You can say I'm full of it all you want. I've presented nothing but factual information thus far and I intend on continuing to if you believe me or not. Kudos to you for having an engine that isn't consuming oil. Sadly not everyone is as fortunate as you. All the things I've posted was information given to me by an expert in the oil industry and is well documented.
I've had a few customer gains of 12-15whp on boosted applications with some of them being in the 500whp range. One had a case of 20whp on a before/after so that's what I posted. I've also had some customers get about 5whp. I've also never ever had a single person come back to me and say it was a waste of $110 and they didn't notice anything. All the dyno's show a smoother powerband at the very least.
2-3whp gain on a N/A S2000 for most mods is not an easy feat. A full $1500 exhaust usually nets around 4-5whp.

Hey, I am not calling you dishonest just wondering how this is suppose to make more power. My car will use some oil but some of it is due to the fact my stock oil on the turbo leaks a bit(very small.) It always has 
Dead-doo-do-dailus, you are correct sir. It does say someone, somewhere made 20WHP from this.
