This generation of mods was about 17k with the 2 sets of wheels.

Yeah it was a PITA.

So after reading through TSCOMP's catch can thread I bought 2 Mishimoto Carbon wrapped catch cans from MAP and then had to find some fittings to work that would screw into the catch can (STD) and accept AN fittings.

The can on the back of the motor (Firewall) is running a -8 fitting to the catch can and then to the intake manifold (I found some STD to AN fittings so it bolted right up to both the catch can and the intake manifold) via steel braided line.

On the front side of the motor I had a -8 AN fitting drilled out on the valve cover and ran steel braided line from the valve cover to the catch can and then from the can to the bottom of the car (It would be back into the intake tract if i had air intake still).

Is there any chance you could post a picture or provide information as to where you got the STD - AN fittings?

What did the 90* outlet on the backside of the valve cover connect to?

I didn't take pictures of the fittings before they were used. Let me go through my reciepts and make sure i send you the right part numbers. I went through a bunch of fittings before getting it to work in the most efficient way possible. I have a bunch of left over fittings from trial and erroring it.

My buddy has the car right now wrapping up the stereo and a few other things so when I get it back (hopefully tomorrow) I'll take some better pics.

Awesome. I would really appreciate it. My next mod is powder coating my valve cover and installing the same system.

EDIT. Speaking of powder coating the VC, how did you get yours to match so closely to EB?

Went to the powder coater and picked the color. I can try to find out what the colors name or code is for you if you'd like.

Delayed a day. I won't get the car back until late Friday. I'll take pics on Saturday.

The Works look better in person.
