Catch can baffles/scrubbers
Quick question - I have upsized my Valve cover breather outlets from stock to -10AN but using AN8 pushlok size hose. I am running dual Radium catch cans. The cold side breather comes to the inlet of the catch can and then the outlet has a Radium PCV installed on the catch can outlet to IM side. I am noticing that I am filling up the catch can at long idling sessions when I run through multiple flush cycles or tuning my cold start idle - I never had that much oil fill up with OEM breathers and 3/8 hose prior to this change. Given larger size breathers, do I need to consider opening up the baffles and stuffing steel wool scrubbers ? I did make the oem hole that crosses over in the baffle larger by drilling it out (based on advice here). The car has a built motor non turbo. Have not been on track yet with new setup but getting concerned about the fill up of oil vapor..I am running e85 for full disclosure and Amsoil synthetic 15/50.
Seeking your guidance.. Thank you all.

It has been mentioned in the catch can megathread by people who have tried it that the Radium PCV valve flows a different volume to the stock miata and doesn’t work properly for our cars, sucking too much fluid through.
On scrubbers in the valve cover, I noticed zero difference in the amount of liquid oil being sucked through the PCV valve side before and after adding scrubbers.
