Default Catch Can question??

Have any of you guys installed a catch can on your C5. I am trying to make sure I have everything right. Not quite sure I have all the hoses run properly.

How did you run your hose:
From intake to what??
From Valley Cover to what??
From Valve Cover to what??

I just installed a NLP catch can and I feel I have lost some power, especially down low.

Thanks in advance!!

Same here. Easy install, hard to screw up.

That's what I figured then I f'ed up and read the di-struction. The car runs but I notice a bit of hesitation on the bottom end. I just need to screw with it a bit more when I have time.
