It goes to the PCV valve which is attached to the intake manifold.

Default Valley cover connection

Like RAO mentioned if your not running a can. However, if your going to run a catch can, this is what I did.

On my catch can inlet, I have 1 tube from each valve cover. Then I T'd the valley tube into one of the inlets for the can.

I then plugged the other valve cover vents and drilled a 3/8 inch hole in my oil cap.

Then I flared a peice of 3/8 fuel line about 2 1/2/ inches long and glued it into the cap (flare from the bottom up). Then I clamped one of those little breather filters on the end of the pipe. One web site offers this for around $25. I bought the filter from the parts store for about $10..

Default PCV n Turbo

If ur running a Turbo, I'd run a catch can for sure. Or you could delete the pcv system altogether like some guys do. I thought of that but in running my 454 for about 200 miles, you should see the condensation buildup in the catch can ! If the catch can would not have caught this, it would have been sucked into the intake.

If you do decide to retain the PCV, use a large catch can and yes, T into it prior to the Turbo inlet.

Do a search on here n you'll find some other articles on the PCV system mods.
