Default oil catch tank install help

i bought the greddy catch tank and i'm kinda lost installing it because it came with no directions. can anyone give me some help with it. i put the thing together, i just dont know where to attach it to. on the engine block, there's the little thing on the back left hand side that attaches a pipe to the intake manifold. on the right side of the engine block the pipe connects to the actual intake. do i connect a hose from the catch can to the left side of the engine head and then another hose from the catch can to the intake manifold? there's only 2 adapters on the actual catch to connect piping to. this is what i got:

You need to connect on hose into the vent comign off the valve cover. You then connect the other hose into the intake tract or put a filter on the catch can.

You should have bought our catch can it comes with directions for the TC!!!

the vent off the valve cover lets air out but when the air leavs oil goes with it and goes in to your intake and throttle body and intake manifod after a long time it will gunk up and block some air flow this will catch all the oil before it gets there and prevent that from happining

locate the line that goes from the valve cover to the air intake. splice into that line with one line coming from the valve cover to one of the oil catch can inlets. technically you're supposed to put the outlet line back to the air intake line but if you'd like you can use one of those little breather filters on the oil catch can outlet line and plug up the one going to the air intake. it's only used for emission purposes.

ok, since i'm retarded this is what i did-i took pics of the places i'm trying to figure out are the best to attach the oil can to.


this is the hose from the intake manifold to the back left side of engine


this is the hose from the the intake to the right side of the engine.


which two points do i attach to the oil catch can, and the ones i unattach, can i leave them like that or do i have to attach a breather filter or something to them?

i've heard from other people that it should be points C & D where the catch tank goes into. i took that hose off and i didn't really feel any sludge or slimy stuff in there. is it better to install the catch for those points or for points A & B? also, does anyone know the size of the hose to get? i've heard 18mm i think-the one that greddy gives you is 9mm-which i believe is ok for connecting it to the intake manifold.
