Post a picture of what you're running right now, I'm curious....whether I want to run a catch can now.
Check out my set up. It seemed to work pretty good for a while. Until I dropped my sleeves.

You dropped your sleeves?! Who did your block, and how did the sleeves drop? What did it sound like when it happened? I can only imagine =D

What catch can are you using? Looks decent. I still really like the look of the norris can though..

Here's a picture of my engine bay. I took a -10 AN hose from the drivers side, ran it around to a T fitting on the passenger's side, then ran that down to a Moroso catch can.

The valley cover and the TB connections are both capped off, and the valve covers don't have any of the stock PCV crap on it.

Catch can does it's job, catches oil/water, and vents the crankcase fine.

It's a moroso one, has a -12 AN fitting on the side. I used a -12 to -10 fitting to drop it down to the size of the hose I ran from the valve covers (used -10 on the covers because that's what they had welded on them for a fitting)

I bought it thru summit, just look for a breather can, there's lots of sizes and styles out there.
