I have the mishimoto kit on mine. Had it about 2 years. As far as functionality it seems to be very good. When I empty the cans it’s almost unbelievable what is in there. I did this before any upgrades just to be safe. The only other upgrade is the borla exhaust,which in my opinion sounds so good on this car. I didn’t want a Honda ricer sound and it definitely isn’t that. About to start heading the same direction as your build soon. Your videos are great to help me get there. Thanks
Jtrivett79 Thank you for the feedback man! I’ve been contemplating the exhaust set up for a while now but I’m on your side, I don’t want it to sound like a ricer. With all the mods I have, I’m loving this car. It’s fast, it’s nice, it gets great gas mileage... no complaints on my end. But I’ll be sure to keep uploading more videos 👍
My dude! You’re automatically already my bro. Still got the ATS?? Let’s link up and talk parts I’m super thankful for ur vid doing my PCV valve tonight!
FYI - there's 1 more PCV valve that's not as easy to change. It's inside the valve cover. Based on how its designed, that to me is the real PCV valve. The rest of the valves/tubing on top are part of the system, but the actual PCV is not readily accessible. GM did the same thing on the LNF 2.0
Hey man, thanks for the great video. Quick question though, do you know how to remove the pcv tube that connects from the pcv valve to the turbo? I was able to get the tube off from the pcv valve, but cant seem to get the metal end of it off from the turbo. Does it need a special tool? Or just a really hard pull? I see you put your catch can tubes in replace for the original pcv valve to turbo tube but im trying to disconnect the whole tube.
@@S.0.G please if you can! Im in a bind, one of those moments where everything else is done except this 1 tube that i dont want to break or break the turbo! Would really appreciate it!
I’m having problems with my mishimoto kit the catch cans do catch some stuff and I’ve been have problems with either the turbo smoking or something every time my car builds boost it just blows white smoke out the exhaust but when I shift it and don’t let it create boost it doesn’t smoke so I’m stuck at the moment trying to figure out what’s the problem!!!
What is that tool called to get that hose off? I agree with you about not having much information about working on our ats. Mine has been at the dealership over a month getting new pistons and rods under warranty
Fuel line disconnect tool is what I thought it took, but then I called a dealer and they said it had 2 push pins I was suppose to push in on to release the fitting. Neither way worked and that’s why I broke it cuz I pulled too hard lol
Hey i have a 2015 cadillac cts 3.6L and i got oil going to my air filter. They said to chance the pcv valve. Is it what you did here or is it different?
I need to remove those hoses from the pvc valves to install an oil catch can not sure how to remove them, any advice they look just like the one you show in the vid, thanks!
Mambo I was unable to remove them myself. I got so frustrated I ended up pulling too hard and broke the line lol luckily a pcv valve is pretty cheap to replace and I would actually recommend replacing it at this particular time since I heard those are common to go bad
God.Is.Love lol thanks! Just got done doing it myself took me over an hour to remove the small pvc valve connector hose, oil catch can installed, had to remove I had a valve cover gasket leak didn’t want the dealer to void my warranty lol you never know, thing is that they replaced the old hose with a new one that’s when I ran into the hose issue, thanks for the info!
@@julianskns hey! How did you release the hose from the Pcv Valve? I looked at mine and looks like it needs a special tool or something to release it from the hose. Any recommendations? I dont want to break mine, just inspect and clean it.
@@NN2PX8 you need the two small metal rods/wedges whatever they are called and squeeze bottom of the hose connector (two small tabs) at the same time watch the vid it shows you what I’m talking about
@@julianskns ok got it. It worked. Do you know how to disconnect the other end of it that connects to the turbo though? I see in this video the other end didnt have to be disconnected b/c the catch can tube was put in between the pcv valve and turbo. I still have the stock pcv tube that conencts from the valve to the turbo but cant figure out how to disconnect the metal bottom part of it. Any ideas?
I replaced mine today. Could not get the old one off without having to break it off. Why does AC Delco/Cadillac design them that way? Ridiculous. But now my engine is breathing nicely (I changed the oil at the same time). 2013 ATS 2.0 Performance with 107K miles. Runs like a new engine. Thanks for the very helpful video.
Oh ok do u have any idea how u could disconnect it? I know it has those clips on both sides but its a pain to press down on all of them it seems theres about 3 or 2 on each side
Bro i need your help, i need to replace my coolant temperature sensor, where is it located? How many are there , i cant find any after market sensors that fit
Great tut. bro! I did a lot of research and spoke with a hand full of folks since I did mine. I don't think you can go wrong with either ZZP or Mish or even a mocked up ebay can. The general consensus is that we have Direct Injection (fuel sprayed under valve) engines and we can't eliminate carbon buildup so catch cans help but will only slow down the buildup process. At 70k miles now, I sometimes still get boost problems despite having the CCV and PCV side catch cans. This means my valves are already covered with carbon which explains the spark knock I've been getting. Ultimately, I'll have to remove the manifold and have it scrubbed or blasted. Some new D.I. engines are now being built with TWO fuel injectors (above and below the valve) to eliminate carbon buildup on the valve.
What’s the name of the hose that’s connected to that pcv valve ? I’ve tried searching for it and only the t shaped pcv hose shows up . I’m looking to replace it with a stock hose it broke on me as well when I tried removing the pcv valve . There must be Different name for it does anyone know it ? Thanks
Randy Chavez It’s a pain to find. I ended up asking the dealership for the diaphragm of the engine and found it that way. Unfortunately I sold the car and don’t remember the part number 😭
God.Is.Love Yeah I couldn’t find it on my own had to call the dealership too and got it through them they called it a pcv hose tube . I’m thinking about getting a mishimoto catch can set up . I have 68k on it . Would you say it’s worth setting up ?
Buick has really been disappointing with this shenanigans. The performance and mods on these engines are exceptional but the repairs are teadious for us diy guys😢. I’m consider the Honda Accord next
@@S.0.G ya thats the hope what part # was it do you remember I work at a dealership and they can't figure it out, they tried to order one of those side ones
@@S.0.G ya thanks hopefully I'll get it today and reinstalled I don't want to drive on messed up one, shouldn't hurt the car bad but I dont wanna risk it
Thanks for the video brotha! I broke my clips yesterday so my part is coming today! I had no clue how to remove so attempting today!

There is a tool to take that one off, that's why it breaks. It's not that swivel clip that are 9n the 9ther lines
