sweet. paint it chalkboard! (kidding)
You will have to get pics once it is on. I like the way it looks in the picture but not sure how that will translate once it is on the car

Progress!
Managed to finally get the huge air bubble out of my heater core, so I have crazy hot heat now
So I was chillin replacing vac hoses, and pulled off my IC to TB pipe... SO MUCH OIL :/
Innercooler also had lots of oil in it too...
So 30 bucks at home depot later...
$7 inline air compressor filter
4 feet of 3/4 id hose
various hose clamps, pipe couplers, and 2 1/4-1/3 npt fittings
Rotated the weird rubber pipe in the back
You can see my final mounting location
Heres the issue though.
The old plastic pipe that came off the block just crumbled, and the dealer wants 70 for the part (which they don't even have in stock)
And im like F#$% that homie, im a B5 owner, ill make it work
Solution: Just cram the hose into the block!
*note. Correct tube is on order from ECS, so no flaming. It seals, so it will work for the next 4 days
Now feel free to call me retarded, because im pretty sure just running a pipe from the block to my catch can means I forgot some important component (I.E. PVC breather valve) but in reality, do I need it?
Anyway, drive the car about 80 miles, and checked the can. SUCCESSSSSS

Oh and here is what a 140k pcv system thats been sludged up due to the recommended 10k oil changes (and then "repaired" by AoA) looks like:
Left side was broken off
Ew.
This was the plastic part coming off the block, obviously cracked and split down the side.
Got lean codes? CHECK THIS SYSTEM FIRST

The part that really worries me, is that theres no way this was only isolated to these 4 hoses....
