I see a lot of people hook up one hose to the valve cover, But I don't know where the other one go. Is the one go to the valve cover correct? I have a greddy oil catch can.

hooked mine up to the pcv to the catch can then the catch can to the turbo intake side. just left the one on the valve cover alone. you can probably put a filter on it or tap the catch can so you have 3 ports and connect it there

i dont think that is verry effective. the whole point of having a catch can is to catch oil and whatnot from the crankcase blowby. and the crankcase blowby is released from that fitting on the valve cover. so if ur catchcan isnt even connected to it...

there are many different ways to hook it up and it gets argued over a lot. also depends on if ur valve cover has one single fitting that comes off or a fitting that tee's into two different fittings. dont know if any of the KA's have it tee off like that but some SR20's do.

just got from the valve cover, to the catch can, then to the intake. Problem solved. Thats how they are installed.

i came across another thread one time kinda like that one but it had to do with the sr20. and just like that one, this one had some "interesting" theories and ideas and no real conclusion. my best answer would be to try and get familiar with the subject and then start experimenting with ideas and see what works for u.
