I was having a problem with my car idling and noticed that the previous owner had just blocked off the dirty side of the PCV system by hollowing out that grommet and putting a plug in it.

The 90 fitting I bought didn't fit snug enough in the grommet for my taste and I couldn't find the right grommet at the parts store/ get the grommet out to save my life. I just put the larger side of the PCV valve in the hollowed out grommet. Checked to make sure it didn't sit too far in and that it fit snug. Ran the correct lines and catch can. Still only had about $12 in parts like he said.

Also, there's a diagram on post 70 in this thread that shows how they should be run. I don't think you're supposed to T the driver's side into the rear passenger side. I could be wrong though.

My6speedZ, You want to trade catch cans? My silver one would go great with your silver TB and your red one would go great with my red TB . They were out of red so my g/f ordered a silver one instead for Christmas.

Grab a can of the anodized burgundy spray paint that Duplicolor makes and spray/clearcoat it.

I'm no nutswinger, I just state what works for me. My intake is dry and I push this car pretty hard. A catch can would cost more money, and if not installed correctly, it can be a PITA.

I figured out the exact hose measurements, and fittings (with part numbers) needed for the home made PCV setup. Will post on here or make another thread that has less clutter.
