Default LQ9 to LS6 intake. What to do with the valve cover tubes?

Each valve cover has a tube that comes out of it. The passenger side went to the intake just behind the T/B and the driver side went to the top of the manifold. I figure I can use the port on my T/B for the passenger side, but the driver side will have to be ran to either the front or back of the manifold. Any tips?

You won't have that rear hookup on your truck covers, but the rest is the same.

so one side gets air from before the t/b butterfly and the other gets it from after the t/b blade?


could i just use the vacuum port on the other side of the front of the intake since it is on the right side to be used with that valve cover?

They are both after the butterfly, but the one on the TB is clean air, while the one on the intake manifold is the dirty air and should not be routed to the vacuum port on the driver side.

So, passenger side goes to the "clean air" throttle body port. Where do I hook the driver side up to? Is there any actual PCV valve I need to use?

Look at the picture he posted

Red doesnt change for truck covers
Gold/blue are one hose. Use a conventional PCV in the drivers valve cover

Thats all
