I'll snap a pic of mine tomorrow. One line goes from the valve cover to a nipple on the catch, another from the black box on the back of the block to the other nipple. A breather filter on top of the catch vents it.

so you guys dont worry about tying it in to the charge pipe? the setup above looks simple enough.

I thought for a catch can to work right you need some kind of vacuum source. So this isn't true?

On a boosted car from what I've read and experienced vacuum isn't a requirement. At idle I can see vapors exiting and under boost on the dyno I could see the vapor clouds "blowing" out. Vacuum might help, but it's something I don't think I need..

I left the hose on the intake manifold and just plugged the end with a bolt

Why is there a "breather filter" on the catch can? Don't you just connect the valve cover opening to the catch can and then from the catch can to the intake piping connected between the Air Filter and the turbo? What use does the breather filter have... ?

It dissipates the vapors so you don't have to empty your can as often.

This is good info.

Quick question though:
Can I run a tee on the line coming out of the black can (oil separator) and let the oil drain back into the motor from the bottom of the catch can (just like endyn's kit) or are there other things I need to do beforehand?

This would avoid needing to empty the can all the time...

Wait a minute, so your using the valve cover nipple to act like a vacuum source when ur on the throttle? Thats the only reason why that line would be there now wouldnt it? Or am i missing something
