You have it routed the way Radium routes their can. I'm not sure why the seller's can would reverse that.....

This is what he wrote to me.

"the hose is connected wrong connect the hose from pcv valve to Inlet Bottom port
connect the hose from intake to upper port like in the picture attached at bottom

Well, it's not a radium can, sooo....

Why would you not install it per the manufacturer recommendation?

For once because the screen/filter is above the lower connection. Its located at the very top right before the top connection. In this case the screen/baffle serves no purpose. Unless i am wrong....please let me know.

On second look, I think the vendor is right. The vapor return path is into the intake manifold. If you connect it to the lower port, it is going to pull collected oil into the combustion chamber. I'm guessing it's a very simple design with a baffle at the top to condense and catch vapors and drop them to the bottom.

Unrelated but put some zip ties on your FPR hose before you regret it.

I used 3/8 fuel line with small hose clamps and everything fits very tight. I do keep an eye
on everything.

I'm talking about the grey vac line from your FPR to your intake manifold. In the photo you have no zip ties or clamps on it.

If that pops off, you will go lean and if it's at WOT it can ruin your day.
