No pic, but next to the fuse box on the driver side, attached by the radiator. Ran the lines under the MAF.

Mike02Z: Aren't the rubber lines connected to the AMW Catchcan reversed? The instructions have the PCV Line connected to the lid and the vacuum source connected to side of the can.

The line comes out of the valve cover goes into the PCV valve and from the PCV it goes into the top of the can. The side line goes into the manifold where the vacuum is being pulled. I believe they are connected the right way and the way you describe.

To be honest I think it would work either way. The oil falls to the bottom and either line pulling vacuum is not going to pull the oil up from the bottom.

how are you guys connecting your catch cans to the pcv line coming from the block? Can I clip the old PCV Valve holder or should I leave the PCV valve attached and connect the hose from the PCV valve nipple to the catch can inlet?

I just connect the new hose to the PCV Valve and the other end to the catchcan. I left the PCV in place.

I just dumped out 2 cups of oil and the interval was ~10K miles. My car has never been an oil burner. The hose going to the intake is clean and the TB has remained clean as well. Money well spent.
