Default catch can install ?....

i am running a procharger and i have an oil problem so i bought a catch can to catch the oil. i have a question on the install... do i run a hose from the top front of the valve cover to the top of the can or does the hose come from the actual pcv valve to the top of the catch can? and then does the other hose that comes off the side of the catch can run to the top of the throttle body or the side of the manifold? thanks guys.

and off the valve cover did you run a breather or hook it back up like it was stock?

When I had my catch can:

PCV Valve to catch can... catch can to passenger side of intake manifold.

As far as a breather goes, I believe the guys here were replacing the oil cap with a Metco breather I believe.

I left the little hoses on the passenger side valve cover connected just the way they were.

it goes inline of the pcv hose, remove the hose in between the pcv valve and the tbody, the inlet connects to the pcv valve, outlet connects to the tbody.

No,
It goes inline with the PCV valve and the hose that enters the passenger side of the intake manifold.
