It's screwed into the back of an aluminum "breather separator". The breather separator is bolted to your lower timing chain cover right below your thermostat housing.

Best to come at it from below.

Edit: I just pulled my front timing cover. You'll probably save time/aggrevation if you remove the alternator in order to get to the PCV valve.

This article explains what it does and why it's important.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCV_valve

While some people remove it or worse yet plug it.. a properly setup PCV system is ESSENTIAL for a turbo/high performance engine. It increases the lifespan of the oil AND by reducing windage in the crankcase it can increase horsepower.

It's the stock intake. You can see the whole thing in an earlier post (this thread) where I show how buried the PCV valve is.

Thanks! If only I could fix the oil pressure (look for "oil pressure" thread).
