Default Catch can setup w/ Moroso dry sump breather tank (smaller pics)

Okay my hometown is the same as Moroso so I figured i go down and talk to the techs in person. They recommended Unit # 85470 for my application, a dry sump breather tank w/ one nipple. The pic below shows you what is included in this package.

So that's the kit. Now the tech guys said i had 2 options. I could plug off the PCV system and use that hose and tee it off with the other valve cover openin for ventine crankcase fumes and send them as one hose into the breather tank. However, that PCV hose is teed off to send a vacuum source to my WG. So i im just gonna keep the PCV system i think cause they said that was alright and just use the other valve cover hose that originally was rerouted back into the stock intake pipe. They said that should be sufficient.. what do you guys think? here are pics of everything.



Now this pic is showin where the exhaust mani ... do you see that gold bolt or plug that is pluggin the mani where a o2 sensor might go... is that gold bolt ok to tap into for an EGT probe?

Last question: do you see where my air filter is goin from the turbo? is that okay for now.. i think im gonna get a super high flow filter by HKS and replace it... i may actually also relocated my battery to behind my passenger side seat. what do you think?

If it's the same size and thread pattern, it'll work.

Of course, it'll be reading the temperature of the exhaust after the turbo, instead of before the turbo.

But I thought that with a turbo you want the EGT probe after the turbo as in farther down the mani even in the DP b/c you dont want the probe breakin off and flyin into your turbo?

K pics are smaller now and easier to see.. so comments are appreciated...
To Accord94DX dont judge too early.. this is not my everyday driver and i dont have enough knowledge or time to work on the car entirely by myself.. im still learning about FI... so there are a few loose wires.. next to the distributor are loos wires b/c i had the MSD BTM installed but i cant use both the BTM and the MF-2 .. rather have the fuel. so there are loose wires and i have to finish wiring the 2 gauge wire and mf2 wires... still workin on that.. besides that i dont know what else is hacked up

just a thought.

If you look at the flow diagram for the PCV system in the helms, you will see that, at least in theory, air is supposed to flow from the intake pipe, into the valve cover, and then out of the valve cover, past the PCV valve and into the intake manifold. Now we all know that the air doesn't always flow that way, because we all get oil residue on our throttle body, but from looking at the flow diagram, it should not happen. My point? Your oil catch can setup should, at least in theory, be more effective between the PCV valve and the intake manifold, instead of where you have it.

I'm in no way 100% about this, it's just the way I see it from looking at the Helms manual. If somebody thinks I'm waaayyy off base, I'm willing to listen
