PCV system complete, i think... just finished up my pcv system, let me know if its right.
I Capped off the back of the PS head. Used the existing line with the pcv valve that goes from the back of the DS head to the inlet of the catch can. Then out the other side of the catch can to the piece on the TB. Then i used the pipe on top of the TB for Boost referance for the wastegate and BOV. Is it ok that i used a T fitting from the BOV to the Wastegate?

No, the pipe coming out of the tb at the top(you can see in the pic) is feeding the bov and wastegate. Then the is another pipe right under the top one on the tb and I have that hooked up to the out let of the catch can with a check valve inline.
Are you talking about the manifold port behind the throttle body?
I wouldn't use that throttle body port for anything, just cap that one. If I were to do it again, I would take the port behind the TB and run it to a vacuum block and have that supply everything. I have mine T'd in various places off of the manifold line.

I don't know what throttle body you have, but mine and every other one I've seen only has one port as far as vacuum goes on the passenger side. There are the two bottom ones for the coolant to flow through though. On the drivers side there is the TPS and the IAC.

I think I was just geting the tb port and manifold port mixed up. So cap the tb port and run my wastegate and bov off the Mani port? Is it ok to run the t fittings like I have them?

Verdad Gallardo Couple things I see just looking at the pictures:
I'd route the vacuum line some where else instead of between the belt. Also, its hard to tell if there is enough piping there for the clamp to bite on. I'm not sure what kind of line you are using, but I used some shinier hose that was flexed and allowed for zip ties to hold the lines in place. I used brass T's instead of the plastic ones. If there isn't it will blow off. Just a few things to think about.

I am using hose clamps, just haven't put them on yet. Look at the one that says: "Single Catch Can PCV Routing LS1 Valley Cover, External PCV - Turbo"
You don't want the PCV system hooked up to the manifold. It will pressurize the crankcase under boost. Thats why you run your fresh air line to the inlet of the turbo in between the filter. That way it has vacuum pulling the combustion by products out of the crankcase.

Are you running a boost controller or just running off the spring? If you are running a controller, I cant provide much insight. I do know that the wastegate should be supplied by the port on the housing of the turbo.
