I got the mr.gasket one from Jegs... It fits in the oil caps spot and has the provision on it so a hose can go from it to the catch can. Can't remember the part #.

i thought people usually ran the catch can inbetween the pcv valve and TB and just put a breather on the valve cover?

I got the breather with the fitting for the catch can already on it. I just thought it would be easier for me.

are you just going to leave off the PCV vavle since you have your single plane intake?

what are you plans for your pcv system since it cant run back to the intake?

Yep just like he said...... remove all of it.... not needed.
I have fabricated Valvecovers and im using -10an braided line from each valve cover to the catch-can and it was like $70 shipped to my door.
Its the other $150 for the hoses and fittings that are spendy

bling* bling* cost money right?

that's probably what ill do that looks the neatest (as in more simple) and looks the best...

are you just keeping the stock oil cap on with no breather?

I am running a blower works PCV valve which has a positive check valve in the billet machined piece that does not allow boost into the crank case. then from the passenger side valve cover I run my hose that used to go to the side of the throttle body into an air compressor oil/water seperator from harbor freight..~$3 bucks, and from the other side to the inlet of the turbo. I have seen this done several times with excellent results.. you maintain the PCV system for idle and part throttle cruising vacuum in the crank case for better ring seal and fuel efficiency, and under boost the PCV shuts off and the turbo inlet creates vacuum to evac the crank case and the compressor seperator keeps any contaminants from getting in the turbo inlet and coking up the intake tract. very simple and efficient setup. the oil/water seperator is clear with a filter in it and you can watch as the oil accumulates in it and drain it when it becomes 1/4 full.

hope this jmay offer some options to people who do not have enough room for a large expensive catch can.
