I used the line that goes from the exhaust valve cover and ran a hose to the catch can, then from the catch can to the turbo inlet. Later, I replaced the turbo inlet with an air filter on the can.

Unfortunatly, this only covers half of the system. This will work when you are boosting only. Any other time, the manifold has more vaccuum and the gases will be drawn directly into the manifold. The easist way would be to run 2 catch cans on each valve cover. The other option is kind of complicated. I don't have access to the bitmap diagram that I made of it right now, but I'll try and post it up later.

Thats why you found it. We call it rocker covers, or cam covers, not crank case covers Thanks mate

Acutally I think I searched "PCV catch can", or something like that.

Wouldnt've even thought of that. i searched Oil catch can and uhh, you can guess all the results i got for that. I tried skimming through most, but CAs where the hardest to find.

Thanks though.Pete

did you know that you can narrow it down to just the CA section when you are searching?
