I fabed a bracket off the bracket that holds the traction control. It's the only place I though of putting it. I just took off the traction control bracket that goes to the head, and welded a piece of flat stock to it, put a little twist in it, drilled the holes for the catch can, and plumbed it in. It's amazing how much oil it catches.

this may sound like a dumb question, but I know the one line runs from the valve cover to the can, but where does the other line run to? I may have to do this when the 355 is all set up.

Not on mine, the PCV valve is in the intake on the drivers side, the PCV nipple is in the front of the intake right below the throttle body. The hose on the passenger side valve cover is run to the top of the throttle body on the passenger side, that's the fresh air line that the PCV valve sucks. So the MAF is registering all air moved through the engine. The air travels from the throttle body through the hose on the passenger side valve cover back up through the lifter valley and sucked through the PCV valve, that's where it picks up the oil then through the catch can and back through the nipple below the throttle body where it's digested by the engine.

not sure if your talking to me or not. but the other line on ours goes to the other valve cover. we just looped it around the back of the engine for convenience.
