Oil catches either have a filter or steel wool on the inside of a contailer. They are hooked up to the valve cover breather and the air inlet before the throttle body. I dont think hooking it up to the PCV and intake manifold catches the same amount of oil

actually, the air hose by the throttle body allows air to go into the valve cover area when there is too much vacuum in the valve cover. the hose on the intake manifold is the one that allows air to go from the valve cover into the combustion chambers. so you want the oil catch can to go between the valve cover and the intake manifold in order to catch any oil that is in the air going from the valve cover to the intake manifold. there are other threads on here that prove my point, and you can call inlinefour, they told me to install it this way (between VC and IM) when i bought my catch can from them.

I noticed you said you purchased yours off InlineFour. Which one did you get?
