Well, is there a DIY on it? I am so confused with the routing schemes, haha.

Right now, I just have my old tube pointing down.

I think the catch can would be more effective in keeping your engine bay clean but not as effective as it would be routed to the intake so I agree with you on that part... hmm, good topic!

Yeah, java, that's the whole thing...there really isn't that much. I agree a catch can connected to nothing would be cleaner, but if you have a tube going all the way under the engine bay, then you get nothing.
The thing is, you need the suction from the intake to help pull out the blow by. otherwise, your just catching what the motor blows out, which is better then nothing, but not as effective.

Imma wait to see what Todd comes up with and see if it's specific to our car, cause alot of people have been having problems finding a good place to mount the greddy or WR catch cans.

but what about the rest of t_urbo_C_harged response? Which is safer? Open or to the intake with no catch can?

The best solution is a catch can.......

Which I will be offering a kit. Valve cover/2 bungs with the fittings and steel braided lines and the ventilated catch can

But if you cannot do a catch can......leave it open.......and save for a catch can

Todd

PS- a cheap filter will work in the mean time, just clean it....but recirc is a bad idea

So your kit is gonna come with a replacement valve cover with 2 bungs to go back into itself, right? no welding needed?

Will there be coating options for the valve cover? Like to match your manifold?
