i know where to hook up one of the ends but the other end is coming from what? the turbo inlet hose? or the funny looking flat top black piece(turbo boost regulator) ??? If you use the hose steming(bottom) from that piece and hook it up to the catch can...your totally by-passing that part of the turbo inlet... if you can take more pics of where you have the other end coming from that would be very helpfull.

on your outlet hose you should use some sort of clear hose, that will let you be able to see if it is actually working or not, if the hose stays clear then everything is working great, if not then you may have to route your hoses a different way.

oh i was planning on doing that but i still need to figure out how to hook this thing up it would be much easier if i could just go out to my car and look around (i'm sure the answer would be in front of me) i'm just getting confused when i look at CincyTT and Steves S's setups wondering which to do?

Steve S re-did all his vaccum lines inorder to try to minimize how much oil would even reach the catch can, from the looks of everyone else that I have seen the are just putting that filter right before the intake and just empty it every two weeks or so.

thefilter is attached to the hose coming off the head right above it. It goes down and then towards the intake. when your actually looking at your car it will be very obvious to you. Plus get another fitting to take out the pvc piece also, there is no reason for it any more and just looks stupid there ( i say this but mine is still there).

And it should only need dumped about every month or so pending on your engine.

ok but you see that flat top black circle piece right above your boost controller? thats the piece i'm talking about. do you have any side pics like where that is going? i mean on the oem setup(no catch can) that hose is coming from the intake and then goes into that black flat top piece. so....>????

the flat peice is part of the pvc system. it is still attached to the intake and i need to replace that with just a 90* fitting to go into the intake. The other end is coming from the valve cover. When you go look at your car it will become obvious to you.

is there anyway you can get a pic of the intake inlet and that black piece? and how you have it? cuz from the above pic i dont see how it can be attached to the inlet and hooked-up to the catch can at the same time? thanks
