Default PCV options with Nick Williams Throttle Body?

My Nick Williams 92mm throttle body doesn't have the fitting to hook the pcv hose to. Since I'm planning to run a PCV system with catch can, I guess I need to find an alternative approach.

Any suggestions? Can I just run a line to the air intake in front of the throttle body or should I run it to somewhere on the intake manifold in order to assure it pulls good vacuum?

Here's a pic of the throttle body without the fitting:

PCV should be on the passenger side of the intake manifold. do you mean the coolant fittings? if so you don't need to run your steam line into them. just bypass and run straight to your radiator

Perhaps I'm not as familiar with the stock LS1 PCV system as I thought, but I thought there was a line between the passenger valve cover and the throttle body?

Yes, I have a line running from my passanger valve cover to my air intake tube, but nothing to the throttle-body.

There is...it is the fresh air feed. Until now, all the NW throttle bodies I've seen have had a fitting for that line on the TB right where the factory TB had one.

From the pic there looks to be an indention of where the hole should be. I wonder if you could have it drilled and tapped.

You can connect it to your intake duct after the filter and after the MAF if you are running one.

There isn't an indentation, it actually looks like some sort of epoxy filler. The aluminum was machined for it, but the hole was filled before the actual throttle body opening was cnc'd.
