Yes a very simple question , i have searched and found that one line goes to the right front of the vavle cover and on the other connection some seem to run it to the intake tube . Others seem to run it to the PCV valve. What is the correct way or is both methods fine? And if someone has some detailed up close pics of where you connected yours at that would be helpful thanks guys .

Mine goes from the PCV valve in the valve cover directly to the catch can. I closed up the valve on the intake snorkle. Note, the silicon line coming out of the PCV valve is a bit blurry and the sensor that is in focus is actually my water temp sensor.

I am pretty sure that the PCV valve is on the backside of the valve cover . Im not sure what the line is called that you have in the pic above but i know that it hooks up to one inlet on the catch can. Where do you have your other line going if the intake tube is closed off ?

OK, there is one car on the market with two inlets and a breather. I have regular helix can and I ended up removing it.

I have had issues with the oil dipstick popping up and the "FIX" is to vent both the PCV line and eliminate the PCV valve and the intake vent tube. These both should be vented to be correct.

So, it is not a newb question it is one most people don't think to ask.




edit- in the pics above me that is the intake line that was removed NOT the PCV line. The PCV is on the back of the valve cover next to the oil dip stick. It runs from the valve cover to the intake. The one pictured goes from the valve cover to the intake. That is the line that adds oil to the intake/IC pipes. Many people will run one line to a catch can and put a fliter/vent on the catch can and cap the intake hole.

I have a regular two port (one in one out) and I am going to modify it and add a breather/filter and make it two hoses in and a breather out and cap off the other two spots (PCV/Intake).
